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.

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.

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.
IonQ President and CEO Peter Chapman said that the deal is expected to support cutting-edge research, innovation, economic growth, and create more jobs.
“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.”

In October this year, Coeur announced that it was fully acquiring SilverCrest, pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement. Upon completion of the deal, Coeur Mining will gain access to SilverCrest’s vast portfolio of silver and gold mines in Canada.
