+ Corcept's cancer drug shows promise & biotech stocks drops after key FDA official resigns
Good evening. We’re capping March, and what a month it’s been. A full-blown tariff bonanza. Trump doubled down yesterday, saying his “reciprocal tariffs” will target all countries, killing hopes for a smaller plan and making investors nervous ahead of Wednesday’s reveal.

WINNERS
⬆︎735.10% Newsmax
Going public isn’t usually this dramatic—but Newsmax isn’t your typical cable network. The conservative channel priced its IPO at $10 today, then popped as investors piled in. Only 7.5 million shares were available to trade. Newsmax is the fourth most-watched cable news channel in the U.S. (CNBC)
⬆︎109.08% Corcept Therapeutics
A new pill could bring hope to ovarian cancer patients. Corcept’s experimental treatment slowed disease progression by 30% in a late-stage trial for patients with a specific tumor type. It’s aimed at those who haven’t responded to other treatments, and the company plans to seek FDA approval later this year. (Fierce Biotech)
⬆︎14.46% Mr. Cooper
Mortgage giant Rocket is buying its smaller rival Mr. Cooper for $9.4 billion in cash, paying a 40% premium. The deal could also help Rocket save up to $400 million by streamlining costs and tech. With more homes for sale and mortgage rates dipping, buyers are returning to the market. (New York Post)

LOSERS
⬇︎7.30% CoreWeave
The Nvidia-backed AI cloud company went public on Friday, but the excitement faded fast. Investors grew wary of its $13B debt, dependence on a few big clients like Microsoft and aging Nvidia chips, which could lose value soon with newer models already rolling out. (TradingView)
⬇︎8.90% Moderna
Biotech stocks got hammered after top FDA official Dr. Peter Marks suddenly resigned. He played a key role in approving vaccines and rare-disease drugs, and investors now fear his replacement may not be as supportive—especially with growing influence from vaccine-skeptic officials in the Trump administration.
