South Alabama stocks see big declines

South Alabama stocks see big declines

Thursday was a down day on Wall Street and a pair of south Alabama stocks were not spared from the pain.

Enviva, the biggest decliner, plummeted 10.9%.

Mobile-based Computer Programs and Systems lost 5.9%

Meanwhile, a trio of big companies sported the only gains of more than 2%: Toyota (2.4%), Amazon (2.2%) and 3M (2.1%).

Overall, a late-afternoon fade left stocks modestly lower Thursday as Wall Street closed out its first losing month since February.

The S&P 500 gave up an early gain to close 0.2% lower. The benchmark index ended August down 1.8%, though a four-day winning streak going back to last week helped chip away at the severity of the monthly decline.
