This large-scale sell-off raised market concerns, leading to a significant drop in stock price. 2. On August 15, MarketBeat reported that although NET Power currently holds a rating among analysts, top analysts believe there are five stocks that are more worthy of investment. This news weakened market confidence in NET Power, further pushing down the stock price. 3. On August 15, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the confirmation of Npeh, Llc's stock sale. This official confirmation intensified negative market sentiment, causing the stock price to continue to decline. Market confidence in the company's stock weakened, with noticeable capital outflows. **Stocks with High Trading Volume in the Industry** Bloom Energy fell 0.03%. Based on recent key news: 1.
