Five Prime Therapeutics (FPRX) Jumps: Stock Rises 15.1% - Tale of the Tape
Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc. (FPRX) was a big mover last session, as its shares rose over 15% on the day. The upside was driven by the signing of a license agreement between Five Prime and bluebird bio, Inc. (BLUE) to research, develop and commercialize chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies using Five Prime's proprietary human antibodies. This also led to far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. Yesterday’s rally breaks the recent trend for the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $19.67 to $22.16 in the past one-month time frame.
Over the last 7 days, the company did not witness any estimate revision and the Zacks Consensus Estimate also remained unchanged. Yesterday’s price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
Five Prime currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
