Is it me or is the title of this extremely hard to parse?

I was trying to understand the phrase "falls on report"

The capitalization actually made it worse although I suppose it's standard title case with some words typically excluded. I've never grokked the exact rules on this.

But it's "falls" that is the problem. What falls?

"VMWare Stock Price Falls On Report Its Software Led to SolarWinds Breach ..." would have made much more sense.

This is standard for financial publications. If they wrote out the whole sentence on bloomberg it would seem very 'noob' like.
