Here's Why Rigel Pharmaceuticals Jumped Another 17% Today
Shares of Rigel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RIGL) closed up 17% on Thursday as investors further digested the company's update on Wednesday.
The business update, as the company called it, had a bit of everything.
Rigel disclosed preliminary third-quarter sales of $11.7 million for Tavalisse, its treatment for a blood disorder called chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). That sales number represented a 15% increase over the second quarter. Rigel estimates that the U.S. ITP market is about $1 billion, so it has plenty of potential for further growth.
