Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q1 2025: 47

Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRPT) has had a controversial time on the stock market in July. The firm’s shares have lost 18.6% during the month as the FDA required it to recall a drug after patient deaths. However, Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRPT)’s stock rose by 16% on the 28th after the firm denied that a patient death in Brazil was due to its Elevidys drug. Cramer commented on the firm after it agreed to stop its drug shipments:

“[On voluntary pause on shipments after headlines suggested they were defying the request earlier] Yeah I knew that, when you go, you don’t court homicide. Being arrested for it so to speak. . .and then people died, and you can’t. Look, we all know when you have someone die in a trial, that’s the end.”

Previously, he discussed Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRPT) after the firm rejected the FDA’s request to stop its shipments:

“[On firm announcing to not comply with the FDA request to stop shipping] Okay, if RFK Jr. agrees with that I guess they don’t need to. I mean this is part of the new government. And the new government, some people would say, is not in keeping what keeping the government of Hamilton and Jefferson, the founding fathers. And I would come back and say, they too have become irrelevant right now. They could be relevant later on but I’m not auditioning for the show of Hamilton here.

“Look they should be prosecuted if they go after them. Because they kill people. And historically, the FDA is a very good institution. . .our FDA’s the best in the world. They may think it’s not, I know it is. . .And that’s it. You know if you kill people with the trial, that drug is stopped. And last I looked, I would prosecute anyone, any company uses that, I would prosecute the CEO for homicide. Why don’t you just say, listen, I’m going against a charge of homicide because you’re killing people with that. The FDA wants to prove, this is a horrible disease, and the FDA would like, wanted, when this was approved to say, alright, we’ll do anything, these people have nothing. There’s no hope. So we’ll do this. But you can’t kill people on a trial. That’s the FDA’s rule. It’s not like Jim Cramer says, that’s the history of the FDA!”
