Closing Thoughts

Hanmi Pharm rose 29.96% on obesity drug licensing news, leading both Pharma and GLP-1 & Obesity Drugs. Whether these themes hold beyond a single session is the next question.

Beauty & Cosmetics is the only theme on a consecutive run, at a streak of 3 in an episode that began Aug 20. The other themes reappeared for 1 day, so their follow-through is still unknown.
