5i Research Weekly Rockets and Duds
This week's 5i Research Rockets 
and Duds 
Sarepta Therapeutics SRPT Sarepta was on the 'Duds' list about a month ago, on negative news in a drug trial. Shares plunged another 44% last week after the company reported a death, the second, in its trials of the drug Elevidys, for the treatment of Muscular Dystrophy. The FDA noted last week it now has 'the highest level of concern' on the trial. The company, which once had a market cap of $17 billion, is now worth barely $2 billion, since having patients die in a drug trial, of course, is the exact opposite of what is supposed to happen.

SunRun Inc. RUN Lights out. Investors decided to 'run' away from SunRun's shares last week, sending shares down 38% after Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill proposed to phase out solar tax credits by 2028. The whole solar sector plunged again, even though the prior plunge in May was more or less related to the same thing--concerns on tax credits.
