from CRM book - don't think 'punishing' is the right choice in this context which is an example of an investment banking company which starting an online investment service via the Internet:
XXX heeft ervoor gekozen om al deze activiteiten onder één merk te doen. Dit heeft in eerste instantie geleid tot een ***afstraffing*** van de beurskoers. Beleggers vreesden voor kanaalconflicten en verslechtering van het imago.
I'm debating using 'had an adverse effect on' but am open to other more 'exciting' suggestions! Thanks!

punished
'Investors punished the stock' is a not uncommon idiom when talking about the financial markets, but David's and writeaway's options are neater here, I think.
-> "Microsoft (MSFT) beat expectations two ways Thursday ... But investors punished the stock, sending it down more than 5% Friday."
http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/earnings/2003-01-16-...
-> "The revision represented a decline of less than 4 percent, but investors punished the stock with an 8.6 percent drop."
