    The stock market had a mixed day on Wednesday, with gains for the Dow Jones Industrial Average coming largely at the expense of the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, as well as smaller-company stocks. Investors were encouraged by solid economic data showing strength in the housing market, and strength in the financial sector was especially helpful for the Dow. Nervousness about potential regulation of high-flying tech stocks dampened market sentiment to some extent, but a few individual stocks posted sizable gains. GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:GWPH), Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), and W&T Offshore (NYSE:WTI) were among the best performers on the day. Here's why they did so well.

    Thursday was a poor day on Wall Street, with major benchmarks giving up about 0.5%-1% across the board. Trade concerns remain the focal point for market participants, with the latest controversy over U.S. immigration policy posing a potential threat to relations with traditional American allies abroad as well. Even with worries on a big-picture level, some individual companies had good news that sent their shares higher. Stitch Fix (NASDAQ:SFIX), Barnes & Noble Education (NYSE:BNED), and Heron Therapeutics (NASDAQ:HRTX) were among the best performers on the day. Here's why they did so well.

    Shares of the commercial-stage biotech Heron Therapeutics (NASDAQ:HRTX) gained as much as 36.3% today on abnormally high volume. What triggered this massive surge higher? 

  • [By George Budwell]

    As things stand now, Cara's immediate future hinges directly on the strength of Korsuva's late-stage results in both postoperative pain and CKD-associated pruritus. Having said that, I think investors should largely consider the drug's postoperative pain indication as icing on the cake at this point. Heron Therapeutics' (NASDAQ:HRTX)experimental pain medicine HTX-011, after all, appears to have a sizable advantage in terms of efficacy over Korsuva based on the trial data so far. And Heron is almost certainly going to beat Cara to market by several years as well, giving it a formidable first-mover advantage.
