Sarepta Therapeutics Slumps: SRPT Falls 14.6% in Session – Tale of the Tape

Zacks

Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (SRPT) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell by nearly 15% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading below the volatile price range of $12.58 to $14.55 in the past one-month time frame.

On Jan 12, the company provided a report on study of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”) treatment known as eteplirsen. The report confirmed that patients undergoing the treatment showed decline in distance walked in the 168th week compared to the previous update after week 144.

The biomedicine company has seen a flat track record when it comes to current year estimate revisions over the past few weeks and the consensus for earnings hasn’t been in a trend either. This recent price action is discouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future, and especially on earnings estimates following the recent slump.

SRPT currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

Another better-ranked stock in the same sector is Affymetrix Inc. (AFFX).
