ReShape Lifesciences (NASDAQ:RSLS) stock is falling hard on Monday as the company’s shares pull back from a rally on Friday.

RSLS stock saw a massive gain on Friday that had it finishing out normal trading hours more than 170% higher. That also came alongside heavy trading with some 11 million shares traded. For comparison, its daily average trading volume is closer to 470,000 shares.

That rally came after the company sought to withdraw two filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Those were Form RW filings tied to a Form S-1 registration statement. These had to do with a public stock offering, although the company is not withdrawing the offering itself.

RSLS Stock Movement on Monday

Considering Friday’s major rally, it makes sense that RSLS stock is giving up some ground today. This also comes alongside heavy trading volume this morning.

As of this writing, some 1 million shares of RSLS have changed hands. That’s well above the daily average trading volume. This likely comes as investors sell their stock after Friday’s rally.

RSLS stock is down 62.5% as of Monday morning.
