PRISM Mid-Day Movers: Weight Loss and Biotech are Today’s Leaders.
Shares of Allurion Technologies Inc. (ticker: ALUR) are rebounding today, recently up roughly 30% and trading around $0.75 as bargain hunters step into this now‑OTC obesity‑care name following its NYSE delisting notice. The bounce comes after a brutal slide tied to the exchange’s move to commence delisting proceedings over market‑cap and equity deficiencies, even as Allurion touts fresh FDA approval for its swallowable Allurion Gastric Balloon System and a plan to regain listing compliance or relist on NYSE American, leaving the stock a highly speculative, event‑driven play on obesity devices and GLP‑1 combinations.
Shares of ZyVersa Therapeutics, Inc. (ticker: ZVSA) are bouncing today, recently up about 20% as traders take another speculative swing at this ultra‑low‑priced inflammatory‑disease developer. The move extends a volatile multi‑week upswing that has seen ZVSA climb more than 60% over the past month, fueled by interest in its inflammasome ASC‑inhibiting antibody IC 100 and cholesterol‑efflux mediator VAR 200 platforms, even as the company remains micro‑cap, highly dilutive, and dependent on incremental financings to push its kidney and cardiometabolic programs forward.
Other Notable Movers:
Microvast Holdings (MVST) up 19%
NUBRU Inc (BURU) up 16%
Hepion Pharmaceuticals (HEPA) down -30%
