plunged after the company posted disappointing second-quarter results as higher material costs including tariffs and lower demand in China made a dent in its profit.

The heavy machinery manufacturer also lowered full-year earnings guidance to be at the lower end of previous range of $12.06 to $13.06, short of the estimate of $12.24 per share.
