Markets Wrap: Healthbeacon shares sink as markets across Europe slide

Shares at Healthbeacon, the troubled Irish-listed medical devices firm, tumbled on Wednesday as the Dublin stock exchange fell by 5 five points.

The ISEQ finished Wednesday down 0.06 per cent - now standing at 8,222.41.

Healthbeacon was the biggest faller of the day, down 12 per cent since markets opened, with shares now priced at €0.20 each.
