Novartis del-desiran missed its Phase 3 HARBOR goal in DM1. Shares fell ~9–10% a day after a cholesterol-drug miss. Sarepta and Dyne also dropped.
Dyne Therapeutics announced the pricing of an upsized $375 million public stock offering at $20.50 per share to advance DMD and DM1 programs and extend cash runway into 2029.

Major analysts like Citi, Needham, and Bank of America maintain Sell ratings on Sarepta after recent updates, citing risks to key products like Elevidys, lower 2026 outlook, and regulatory concerns in Duchenne muscular dystrophy treatments.
