What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga reports Caribou Biosciences, ticker C-R-B-U, fell thirty-five percent after hours. The company is weighing strategic alternatives and cutting two drug programs.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBull versus bear. Vera, you have thirty seconds and I regret it already.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOpinion: this is a gift. They cut two programs. That's a company going on a diet, and diets end in abs.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorVera, weighing strategic alternatives is what a company says right before the lights go off. It's a polite coroner's note.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, you get hard when a chart bleeds. It's unhealthy. Thirty-five percent is just the market clearing its throat.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's clearing its throat the way a drain does. Two programs gone. That's not a diet, that's an amputation with a press release.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFocus is a feature! A smaller biotech is like a smaller burrito. Easier to hold, and I still believe in it.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA smaller burrito with nothing inside, Vera. You're bullish on a tortilla.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFor context, this is after hours, so the price can change by the open. Also, the broader tape is up.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorS and P five hundred is up point five eight percent.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSee? Up point five eight! The whole market is celebrating while Dale sits in his bunker sniffing a teabag.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe ten-year is at five point two six nine percent, Vera. Money is expensive, and cash-burning biotechs are the first canaries to go.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCanaries! He's comparing a drug company to a dead bird. Hank, tell him that's insane.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth of you are loud and neither of you has read the filing. The desk verdict: Caribou is a damp sock in a dryer.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNobody knows if it's shrinking.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is the ruling. It is not binding, not advice, and I'm eating beans after this.
