PRISM Mid-Day Movers: Global Health and MedTech are Today’s Leaders.
Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ESPR) is surging midday, with shares trading at $3.1101, up 55.51% on the session after opening at $3.135 and edging between a day low of $3.10 and day high of $3.14 on extremely heavy volume of 134,378,709 shares versus an average of 5,638,337. The move rockets the stock back toward the upper end of its recent range—within sight of its $4.18 52‑week high and far above the $0.69 low—as traders pile into this high‑beta cardiometabolic name on growing enthusiasm that its LDL‑lowering franchise can drive sustained revenue growth, even though the company still posts negative EPS of −0.11 and trades at a P/E of −28.27, highlighting the speculative nature of the rally.
Shares of TELA Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: TELA) are breaking out midday, with the stock up 25.26% to $1.0958 after opening at $0.8625 and trading between a day low of $0.8220 and a day high of $1.11. The rally comes on slightly above‑average volume—250,738 shares versus an average of 225,008—and pushes TELA further off its $0.501 52‑week low, as traders lean into this beaten‑down soft‑tissue reconstruction name ahead of its May 12 Q1 2026 print, where management has already flagged preliminary revenue of about $19 million against $80.3 million for full‑year 2025 and guided to at least 8% topline growth this year despite a still‑sizable net loss and highly leveraged balance sheet.

Everspin Tech. (MRAM) up 18%
Waldencast plc (WALD) up 11%
