What: Shares of Mannkind Corp.
So what: Maybe some investors feel like things can't get any worse for Mannkind. A quick glance at the company's stock chart and the recent steep drop in price gives a little "tell" that something went wrong. Maybe some folks are feeling slightly more bullish because CEO Alfred Mann has been purchasing shares, showing he's willing to put some personal skin in the game.
Now what: Mannkind shares recently traded near 52-week lows, but there's a reason for that: It's got some major challenges at the moment. Its inhaled insulin product was recently rejected by the FDA, and the company also faces several shareholder lawsuits that allege it failed to disclose important facts about the drug's risks. Despite today's pop, Mannkind looks like a "buyer, beware" kind of stock.
