The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is currently on course to end the week on a positive note. At the time of writing, the benchmark index is up 0.2% to 7,395.5 points.

Three ASX shares that have failed to follow the market higher today are listed below. Here's why they are dropping:

Nanosonics Ltd (ASX: NAN)

The Nanosonics share price is down 5.5% to $5.76 following the release of its annual general meeting update. At the meeting, management spoke positively about the future and guided to double digit revenue growth in FY 2022. However, it appears as though investors were disappointed that Nanosonics didn't reveal any new products at the event.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

The WiseTech share price is down 3% to $57.14. This logistics solutions company also held its annual general meeting today. At the event, management reaffirmed its guidance for FY 2022. It continues to expect revenue of $600 million to $635 million and EBITDA of $260 million to $285 million in FY 2022. This represents growth of 18% to 25% and 26% to 38%, respectively. It appears the market was expecting a guidance upgrade.

Zip Co Ltd (ASX: Z1P)

The Zip share price has fallen 3% to $5.72. A number of buy now pay later providers are falling today. This could be due to reports in the United States which suggest that fraud is rising in the industry. An investigation apparently shows that criminals are exploiting weaknesses in the application process for BNPL loans and stealing items. Investors may be worried what impact this will have on margins.
