Transcept Biggest Loser, Near Cash Value (TSPT)

Transcept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSPT) is getting destroyed and is today’s largest percentage loser by far.  The FDA did not approve the comjpany’s experimental sleep disorder drug called Intermezzo.  The reason was over safety issues, but the FDA has requested additional data that might require more studies. At 9:00 AM EST we have shares trading down all the way at $6.16, down 46% from the $11.47 closing price.  We also have seen some 181,843 shares trade hands, double the 88,000 average.  The market cap was $150 million before the cut, so you can cut that almost in half today. The company had $73.6 million in cash and short-term investments on hand at the end of the June 30 quarter. -JON OGG

American Superconductor Superhero (AMSC)

American Superconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: AMSC) is not that active yet in the early hours.  Yet.  The company posted increased revenues of 85% to $74.7 million and non-GAAP EPS to $0.19; it generated $35.8 million in cash from operations and it increased its order backlog to $587 million.  The company also raised guidance.  Shares closed at $28.84 yesterday, but shares are up 15% as a top pre-market winner at $33.19 on about 22,000 shares as of 8:57 AM EST.  Average volume is about 1.03 million shares, but you can expect that to be hit early with this sort of jump.  The 52-week trading range is $8.22 to $39.90, so it is obviously a volatile trading stock.  JON OGG

PrivateBancorp Continues The Mudslide (PVTB)

PrivateBancorp Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) is another actively traded stock on the downside on what may be a day-two dumper.  This fell from $11.98 on Monday to $9.65 yesterday on 10+ million shares.  On Friday this was a $19.00 stock.  This is over concerns on the pricing of its $175M capital raising plan, which actually looks to be the fourth such raise in the last 24 months.  Rising credit woes have grown here as well.  At 8:57 AM EST we have seen some 1.4 million shares trade hands and the stock is down almost 5% at $9.18.  Anything under $9.09 would be a new 52-week low.  Average volume is only 700,000 shares, and that number was closer to 550,000 before the recent surge in downward-trading selling volume.
