Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND) Jumps: Stock Rises 5.5%

Ligand Pharmaceuticals Inc. (LGND) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise by over 5% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent uptrend of the company as the stock has now gained roughly 27% since Nov 7.

This healthcare company has seen a mixed track record when it comes to estimate revision with an upward and downward revision apiece in the past one month. The Zacks Consensus Estimate hasn’t been in a trend either. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
