Sezzle Inc. SEZL Sezzle was sizzling again last week, up 56% and making yet another appearance in our Rockets and Duds blog. First-quarter results beat estimates and the company upped its guidance for the year. A technology-driven loan and payments company, the stock is up a stunning 524% in a year. Maybe if its clients owned Sezzle stock, they wouldn't need to borrow any money from the company. Just a thought.

Sarepta Therapeutics Inc SRPT Sarepta had its worst week in four years last week, down 43% and bringing its year-to-date loss to 70%. Earnings were disappointing, and the FDA named a new regulator that has been a vocal critic of the company and its lead medicine, Elevidys. Sarepta lowered its guidance for the year, and has erased $8 billion in shareholder value.

SweetGreen Inc. SG Mmmm, you know when you are hungry and craving some comfort fast food? Are salads the first thing that comes into your mind? Not for us, certainly, and it looks like not for anyone these days. SweetGreen, which manages a chain of salad restaurants, saw its stock drop 27% last week, with news that sales this year are expected to be flat, and that tariffs are going to increase the cost of building new restaurants. Management notes that consumer sentiment is very negative and this is impacting sales. You know what else is impacting sales? They sell salads. It's not rocket-science, people.
