This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Covanta Holding Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 27.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Covanta Holding Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Covanta Holding Corporation's share price.
