MannKind is trading about 6% up today at $4.11 following two significant announcements:
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Furoscix ReadyFlowâ„¢, a new autoinjector for treating edema in adults with heart failure or chronic kidney disease. This approval came ahead of schedule and was an unexpected positive surprise.
- The company also announced a $50 million private placement to institutional investors, significantly strengthening its cash position.
- These company-specific events are the primary drivers of today's price action.
