Prothena Corporation (PRTA) Falls: Stock Goes Down 5% – Tale of the Tape

Zacks

Prothena Corporation plc (PRTA) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell over 5% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the most recent downtrend for PRTA, as the stock is down over 9% since Nov 28.

Although this slump was obviously disappointing, the Medical company has seen 3 positive revisions and its current year loss consensus has narrowed over the past few weeks. This suggests that the recent slump might be a temporary blip on the radar for DRYS. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if yesterday’s price decline is confirmed by more weakness, or if it can rebound in the weeks ahead.

PRTA currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is positive.

Some better-ranked stocks in the Medical and Biomedical industry include ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ANIP), Biogen Idec Inc. (BIIB) and Affymetrix Inc. (AFFX). All these stocks carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
