If we're being nitpicky, then 'hammered' would be more descriptive than 'decimated'. Decimated would imply only a -10% drop if we stick to it's figurative definition

If we're being nitpicky, "hammered" means to work something out laboriously. Nothing was worked out. A stock's value moved in a negative direction.
We're not.
