    The price of American Golf's stock should decrease.

    Stocks are priced according to the expected cash flows of corporations. Since the market expected that American Golf was going to make money on this new golfing project, the price of their stock probably increased. If the project is cancelled, then the price of the stock should decrease to the level it was before the project was announced or considered possible.
