Insys Therapeutics (INSY[1]) and Opko Health (OPK[2]) were among the biggest stock losers in early trading today. But misery loves company, and INSY stock and OPK stock weren’t the only ones.

Instead, several other big companies suffered a dip in value Friday morning … even as the broader market posted meager gains.

Take a closer look at a few of Friday’s biggest stock losers.
