The Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding (NYSE:BHVN) Share Price Is Up 179% And Shareholders Are Boasting About It
Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. (NYSE:BHVN) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 20% in the last quarter. But that doesn't undermine the rather lovely longer-term return, if you measure over the last three years. Indeed, the share price is up a very strong 179% in that time. To some, the recent share price pullback wouldn't be surprising after such a good run. The thing to consider is whether the underlying business is doing well enough to support the current price.
