- Soleno Therapeutics: Shares jumped nearly 40% after Neurocrine Biosciences announced its agreement to acquire the company for $53 per share in cash, valuing the deal at around $2.9 billion. Neurocrine aims to enhance its drug portfolio and solidify its standing in endocrinology and rare diseases.
- Twilio: The company’s shares increased by over 3% after Jefferies upgraded its rating from hold to buy. They noted Twilio’s potential role in advancing voice artificial intelligence.
- Mara, Strategy, Coinbase: With Bitcoin prices rising over 1% to surpass $69,000 in Monday trading, companies linked to cryptocurrency saw gains as well. Mara surged more than 2%, Strategy experienced a nearly 4% increase, and Coinbase’s shares went up over 3%.
