Ten companies pulled back on Wednesday, booking hefty losses during the trading session, with investor sentiment weighed down by a flurry of government policies and dismal earnings performance in the last quarter of the year.

Meanwhile, the Dow Jones fell by 1.91 percent, the S&P 500 declined by 1.61 percent, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq dropped 1.41 percent.

In this article, let us take a look at the 10 companies that led a poor performance during the day and explore the reasons behind their drop.

To come up with the list, we considered only the stocks with a $2 billion market capitalization and $5 million in trading volume.

Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN)

Sunrun saw its share prices decline by 7.63 percent on Wednesday to finish at $10.66 apiece as investors sold off positions following news that a new House bill has been filed at the House of Representatives seeking to kill a number of consumer tax breaks tied to clean energy.

According to reports, the tax breaks on the chopping block include those for electric vehicle owners and renters, as well as households making their homes energy-efficient.

If passed into law, the bill could significantly curtail and dampen profit margins of clean energy businesses, including Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN), which provides solar technologies and energy storage products primarily for residential customers.

In the first quarter of the year, Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) swung to a net income attributable to shareholders of $50 million from an $87.8-million net loss in the same period last year.

Revenues increased by 10 percent to $504 million from $458 million year-on-year.

Overall, RUN ranks 9th on our list of firms that are drenched in red today.
