The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is pushing higher in afternoon trade and is on course to record its second consecutive day of gains. At the time of writing, the benchmark index is up 0.5% to 7,377.8 points.

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

Austal Limited (ASX: ASB)

The Austal share price is down over 8% to $1.83. Investors have been selling the shipbuilder's shares after the Philippines Navy decided to sole-source foreign-built Offshore Patrol Vessels rather than proceed to purchase Austal-built vessels facilitated through a Government Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth of Australia. Austal will now focus on securing orders for commercial ferries for its Philippines shipyard.

Cettire Ltd (ASX: CTT)

The Cettire share price is down 14% to $1.33. This has been driven by news that its founder and CEO, Dean Mintz, sold a large number of shares. According to the release, the luxury online retailer's CEO has sold 35 million shares in the company at a discount of $1.35 per share via a block trade. This represents 9.18% of the company's issued capital.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corp Ltd (ASX: FPH)

The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare share price is down 7% to $23.95. This follows the release of a trading update out of the medical device company. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare advised that it expects FY 2022 operating revenue in the range of NZ$1.675 billion to NZ$1.70 billion. This represents a 13.7% to 15% year on year decline from NZ$1.97 billion in FY 2021. It also warned that higher freight costs would impact margins.

Resimac Group Ltd (ASX: RMC)

The Resimac share price is down over 3% to $1.60. Investors have been selling the residential mortgage lender's shares after it announced the settlement of Premier Series 2022-1 prime $1 billion residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) transaction.
