Latest News
More importantly, it should be remembered that most of the gains recorded by the stock came in the last hour of trading. While the dramatic last hour for the Esperion stock is likely to bring it on to the radars of many investors today, it is also necessary to keep in mind that there was no news about the company yesterday. Hence, the rally may appear speculative or random to many investors as well.
In this situation, it may be a good idea for investors to perhaps take a look at to take a look at the last important news that had come out of the company. Back on November 1, Esperion had announced that it had appointed Seth H Z Fischer in the capacity of a Class III director.
