PRISM Mid-Day Movers: Weight Loss and Mental Health are Leading Todays Movement.

Allurion Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALUR) is surging today, with the stock up about 62% as it rips higher off beaten‑down levels on still‑light trading volume relative to its typical activity. Even after the spike, the weight‑loss device and digital‑health company remains roughly 42% below its 3.74‑dollar level from the start of 2024, leaving the market capitalization near 17 million dollars and underscoring how thin liquidity can magnify moves in this small‑cap name built around the Allurion gastric balloon and its broader behavioral‑change program.

Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: VNDA) is surging today, with the stock up about 39% to roughly 7.9 dollars after the FDA approved one of its antipsychotic drugs for both a form of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The breakout move, which comes on multi‑million‑share volume and lifts the company’s market value into the mid‑300‑million‑dollar range, reflects investors repricing VNDA around the expanded commercial potential of its CNS portfolio and the prospect of stronger long‑term revenue from its newly approved indication.
