CLW opened at $17.06, already 11.2% below the previous close, then fell to $15.29 by 09:43 ET as TapeRank ranked it No. 2 among movers. TapeRank’s read tied the decline to Clearwater Paper’s larger-than-expected adjusted EPS loss, slightly lower sales, operational problems at Augusta and expected maintenance costs, despite raised full-year sales guidance; the stock later reached $12.90 at 12:34 ET before recovering to $13.67 at the regular-session close, still 28.9% below the previous close.
