Valeant (VRX) shares slid lower Tuesday as the struggling Canadian drugmaker reported third quarter results that missed analyst expectations. The company also reduced its full year earnings guidance to between $5.30 and $5.50 a share vs. its previous range between $6.60 and $7 a share. Year to date, Valeant shares are down more than 85% as the company's $31 billion debt level continues to compound investor concern about falling earnings.
