Their stock still takes a hit perhaps but Wayne just can't go buying any countries for the next two months.
Good idea to take away Wayne's wealth. The scenes were executed very well. However as Nolan often does he failed to connect the dots plausibly.
I still really liked the film. I was expecting a Nolan film and I got one.

It is because Wayne has a reputation and people are going to see an official statement as an excuse or attempt by him to cover it up and get his money back...basically getting himself a bailout which ties into the whole subtle 1%/occupy subtext of the movie.
You're forgetting that Bruce Wayne spent years covering his tracks by creating a public persona as a rich playboy airhead and was constantly getting himself into the tabloids for his behavior. This isn't the first company who's stock has plummeted based on some kind of personal scandal involving the head of the company.
Seriously, the stock scam is this is the easiest part of the film to swallow. Bruce growing back all his missing cartilage? Escaping an atomic blast with almost no screen time to spare? Gotham not being screwed from radioactive fall-out for hundreds of years? The entire police force going into the sewers leaving almost no cops on the streets? The pit-prison with no guards that is easy to escape if the prisoners just use their brains and make some tools? A "clean-slate" program on a USB stick that cleans every record of you (what about paper copies?)... Yeah that I don't buy.
