Major Biotechs Scare Off Short Sellers
By: 24/7 Wall St. | September 12, 2019
The short interest data are out for the most recent settlement date, August 30. Generally speaking, companies within the biotech industry are considered a riskier group of stocks, with big potential upside and big potential downside.
As we have said before, FDA rulings can make or break the biotech stocks, and short sellers and mega-bulls often go to war against each other in these companies. After all, if a single failed clinical trial can mean disaster for a stock, then some short sellers can argue for a stock implosion down the road.
24/7 Wall St. has reviewed the top biotech companies, without focusing on speculative companies. The August 30 short interest data has been compared with the previous report, and short interest in most of these selected biotech stocks decreased.
Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN) saw its short interest decrease to 8.52 million shares from the previous level of 9.75 million. Shares were last seen trading at $195.84, in a 52-week range of $166.30 to $211.90.
Short interest in Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB) fell to 3.80 million shares from the previous 3.93 million. The stock recently traded at $235.96, within a 52-week range of $215.78 to $358.41.
Celgene Corp.’s (NASDAQ: CELG) short interest for this settlement date increased to 12.56 million shares from the previous level of 11.22 million. Shares were changing hands at $98.41, in a 52-week range of $58.59 to $98.97.
Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD) saw its short interest fall to 13.86 million shares from 14.73 million in the previous period. Shares were trading at $68.08, in a 52-week range of $60.32 to $79.61.
The number of MannKind Corp. (NASDAQ: MNKD) shares short dropped to 38.67 million. The previous reading was 39.56 million. The stock traded at $1.44 a share, in a 52-week range of $0.94 to $2.34.
