Penumbra, Inc. (NYSE:PEN) designs, develops, manufactures, and markets medical devices for patients suffering from stroke and other neurovascular diseases. This stock was off significantly after posting second-quarter earnings that did not meet investor expectations. The results did, however, meet consensus estimates. This, combined with a complete investors’ strike in medical technology stocks driven by concerns over the impact that GLP-1 agonists could have on the demand for certain medical devices tied to chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, maintained pressure on the stock throughout the quarter.”
