Halozyme Therapeutics (HALO) Worth a Look: Stock Up 18%

Zacks

Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. HALO was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise almost 18% on the day. The upside was driven after the company announced robust phase 2 results for its pancreatic cancer drug, PEGPH20. The news also led to far more shares changing hands than in a normal session, resulting in solid volume. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $9.88 to $11.88 in the past one-month time frame.

None of the estimates for this stock were revised in the last 30 days, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate also remained unchanged. Yesterday’s action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

Halozyme Therapeutics carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

A better-ranked stock in the same industry is Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. WINT, sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
