Sybase Stock Loses 41% of Its Value: On the first full day of trading since Sybase Inc. announced that its first-quarter results would fall below expectations, its stock fell $16.125 to close at $23 on the Nasdaq on volume of more than 32.1 million shares. Emeryville, Calif.-based Sybase, a maker of database software used mainly by large companies, has fallen behind competitors in its core products’ flexibility. Consequently, analysts say, its sales and profits for the first three months of the year will be less than had been expected.
