What's Going On With T2 Biosystems Stock Today?

T2 Biosystems, Inc. TTOO shares are trading higher on Tuesday. Despite the gains, the stock is down nearly 100% year-to-date.

What To Know: Shares of T2 Biosystems took a nosedive in mid-October, hit hard by disappointing preliminary third-quarter total revenue data and the announcement of a reverse stock split.

However, last Monday, T2 Biosystems announced the successful amendment and extension to its Term Loan Agreement with CRG Servicing LLC which extends the interest-only period and the maturity date by one year from Dec. 31, 2024 to Dec. 31, 2025. It also permanently lowers the minimum cash covenant from $5,000,000 to $500,000. Also, last Tuesday, the company drew attention to new clinical data which it recently presented at the IDWeek 2023 conference.

While shares of the stock popped 14% on Tuesday, the move was not backed by strong volume. According to data from Benzinga Pro, the stock experienced below-average trading volume of 552,598 shares compared to its average volume of 1.16 million.

The stock's move may be related to its extremely high levels of short interest, with 831.77% of shares currently sold short.
