The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $83.50 to $89.87 in the past one-month time frame.

The upmove came after the company announced that the FDA has accepted valoctocogene roxaparvovec under priority review. Notably, the drug is being developed to treat adults with hemophilia A.
