Shares of Tesaro (TSRO), an oncology-focused biopharma company, skyrocketed after the news that it has been working with advisors for a possible sale. The stock, which opened at $26.46 today, reached a maximum of $38.35 and jumped more than 30%. Because of the sudden spike, the trading of Tesaro shares was halted.
After Bloomberg reported that the company has been working with advisors for a possible sale, the stock skyrocketed and settled at $34.96 when the market closed on Friday. Last week on the same day, the stock plunged 19% after it released initial data from the Phase 1 AMBER study, which disappointed the investors.
