Shares of the Coram Healthcare Corporation lost more than 45 percent of their value yesterday after an unexpected second-quarter loss led some investors to question the company's ability to survive several recent missteps.

Shares of Coram fell $4.50 yesterday, to $5.25, on the New York Stock Exchange. About 8.2 million shares changed hands, making it the most actively traded stock in the country.
