Port Washington
$12.86 (week's change: -20.7%) 
52-week return: -6.9%

The computer retailer's quarterly profit rose 46 percent, but shares were pummeled as Wall Street focused on an 11 percent decline in same-store consumer channel sales.

Medical Action Ind.
(MDCI)
Brentwood
$8.60 (week's change: -36.7%) 
52-week return: -30.2%
