Genedx reported a loss of $(0.33) per share but beat the consensus of $(0.67). Sales of $62.422 million also topped the $49.463 million estimate. The company said it now expects to generate sales ranging from $235 million to $245 million for FY2024, crushing the $226.1 million target. Analysts at BTG maintained the stock at a âbuyâ and hiked its price target to $19 in response to the report. WGS is up 24.8% on over 200K shares traded. My Take: Iâve never heard of WGS before today, but, damn, its chart is pretty impressive. Iâd like to see a little more volume, but it could find a new support level around $12 if it can hang on to its gains. Mullen Automotive [MULN] - Last Close: $5.72 The micro-cap EV maker is surging after Californiaâs Air Resources Board approved its 2024 Mullen THREE for its Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project. Mullen announced the breakthrough yesterday, and the news promptly rallied its shares to an 81.0% gain. The rally is continuing in todayâs premarket, with MULN up 16.4% on over 2.5 million shares traded. My Take: MULN is getting a lot of attention from this report, but itâs hard to say whether this spike represents a trend shift or a merely a flash-in-the-pan rally. Cyclacel Pharma [CYCC] - Last Close: $1.36 Cyclacel Pharma just announced an $8.0 million private placement priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules. The company plans to sell up to 4.96 million shares of common stock, plus accompanying warrants, priced at $1.61 apiece. CYCC is up 58.8% on more than 5 million shares traded. My Take: I expect weâll see this move reverse course in the near future. CYCC is already locked in a major downtrend, and this wonât be enough to move the needle. Marin Software [MRIN] - Last Close: $2.61 After Mondayâs close, the tiny software developer announced the launch of a new AI-powered marketing tool, the Anamoly Detector. Marin says the new tool can help marketers refine their online ad campaigns by automatically identifying and summarizing unexpected results in performance. The Anamoly Detector also has the ability to analyze marketing campaigns across Google, Meta, Amazon, and other pay-per-click ad platforms. MRIN is up 31.4% on nearly 3 million shares traded. My Take: MRIN has been chalking up some wins lately, but it has been extremely volatile in the aftermath of its run-ups. Donât be surprised if we see a bit of a pullback in the coming days. That's it for today! Thanks for reading, and good luck out there! Best Regards, â Chris D.
