Sorry but, I hope this comment will not be evaluated -1 offtopic again.
I think more than one-tenth fall of total share of that company has something to do with its relying on OSS in some of its product (Shipment of computers, with Apple's OS X, was also up. OS X uses many F/OSS components and utilities, many from the GNU project in particular.)
In general, those companies who has succeeded in developing new technologies tend to be evaluated much more in the stock market. There's a difference between private companies use OSS and public institutes like goverment -local, national whatever do.--
