Rockwell Medical, Inc. (RMTI) Stock had a Burgeoning Thursday, Here’s the Reason

Rockwell Medical, Inc. (RMTI), a biopharmaceutical company, has declined by 3.99% during the aftermarket trading session. Consequently, RMTI stock is trading at $0.45 at the time of the writing. The decline has come in the aftermath of a burgeoning Thursday when the stock rallied 17.44% during the regular trading session and closed the day at $0.47. The surge could be attributed to the regulatory approval of one of its products in South Korea.
