If looking at percentage of the whole, there are a lot of companies tied for the "win" at ~100%.
One good example would be old mining companies that went bankrupt. Their value cratered to zero, AND now the corporate overlords that ended up acquiring them are spending neverending millions of dollars spent to clean up Superfund sites decade after decade. There are some liabilities that simply cannot be discharged.
You may as well ask why someone buys a stock that then goes down. You didn't think it would go down when you bought it, obviously, but you were wrong.
