Winners and losers

Stocks in the red include Applied Optoelectronics as Rosenblatt Securities initiates coverage of the fiber optic company with a ‘sell’ rating amid worries of a price war; PG&E as Cal Fire released a second damaging report indicating the company’s equipment was involved in 12 Northern California wildfires; and CRISPR Therapeutics, with shares getting hammered as two separate studies claim the company’s gene editing therapies inadvertently increase the risk of cancer in patients.

Stocks in the green include Envision Healthcare as private-equity giant KKR reached a deal to buy the healthcare company for about $5.5 billion; Match Group on a Jefferies upgrade to Buy, claiming the recently announced Facebook dating app will cause only minimal long-term impact; and Southwest Airline, with shares getting a boost here on the back of a positive Barron’s piece over the weekend. Recall shares have been dropping since April following a passenger’s death on a plane where an engine broke apart mid-flight.
