Stocks are valued against the risk free interest, or so the saying goes.
Doubling interest rate from .1% to .2% does a lot for your DCF models, and in this case we went from zero (or in some cases negative) to several percentage units. Of course stock prices tanked. That's what any schoolbook will tell you, and that's what any investor will expect.
Companies thus have to start turning dials and adjust parameters to make number go up again.
