10. BridgeBio Pharma Inc. (BBIO)

Shares of BridgeBio Pharma (BBIO) grew for a second day on Tuesday as traders continued to cheer news of high demand for its newly approved drug Attruby.

During the trading day, the company rallied by 5.56 percent to finish at $35.60 following announcements that Attruby has seen a substantial demand with 430 prescriptions from 248 unique healthcare providers. Attruby is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with a disease that affects the heart muscle called cardiomyopathy.

The early success highlighted the medical community’s recognition of the need for new treatment options for patients with this progressive, fatal disease. It also bolstered investor sentiment for the next stage of clinical trials for three potential assets—Fortify, for the potential treatment of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9; Calibrate, for autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1; and Propel 3, achondroplasia.

Each trial is expected to complete its last patient visit and release the results in the second half of the year.

9. IonQ Inc. (IONQ)

IonQ (IONQ) saw its shares rise by 5.92 percent to finish Tuesday’s trading at $29.51 apiece after the company announced on the same day that it clinched a $1-billion deal with the state of Maryland to make the state the home of quantum computing.

As part of the deal, IonQ will expand its headquarters into a 100,000-square-foot facility that will house a data center, laboratories, and office space at the University of Maryland.

“The Governor’s commitment is a testament to his vision for the pivotal role that quantum science will play in the state’s economic development and technological leadership,” Chapman added. “This investment will also enhance our collaboration with the University of Maryland to solidify the region as a global leader in quantum innovation.”
