    10 Health and Pharmaceutical Companies Fighting the Coronavirus

    Coronavirus fears have triggered volatility, a correction and ultimately a bear market in U.S. stocks in 2020. Many companies have suffered massive price drops, but a handful of stock picks have seen their prices hold up - and in some cases even soar. One such cluster includes pharmaceutical companies and other health-care stocks that are in the race to develop COVID-19 coronavirus vaccines and therapeutics.You can't overstate the stakes. As of March 11, there were 129,771 officially recorded coronavirus cases worldwide, causing more than 4,700 deaths, across 125 countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially declared this a pandemic, and the threat to life is very real. That has governments increasingly shutting down any mass gatherings of people to slow the spread.The hope? That they can buy time for pharmaceutical companies to come up with antivirals and vaccines.More than 30 Big Pharma and small biotechnology companies alike are already involved in COVID-19 coronavirus treatment and vaccine development. But other health-care stocks are rising to the challenge, too: Makers of diagnostic test kits, sanitizers and protective masks are all ramping up to meet unprecedented demand.Here are 10 health and pharmaceutical companies playing a role in the fight to control the COVID-19 coronavirus. Each of these stocks has the potential for considerable gain, whether it's because they're developing a treatment or their products are in greater need amid the outbreak. And to date, each stock has outperformed the S&P; 500 since it started plunging in mid-February, with many posting considerable gains. SEE ALSO: 11 Defensive Dividend Stocks for Riding Out the Storm

    Co-Diagnostics’ COVID-19 Test Passes Clinical Evaluation; 5-Star Analyst Says ‘Buy’

    It might be churlish to suggest there are winners in times of a global pandemic, but it is an unavoidable fact that some companies have benefited from the outbreak. Companies searching for vaccines and those selling hand sanitizer, along with companies with less pertinent issues on their hands, but which fulfill current public stay at home needs are among those to have gained. But none more so than Co-Diagnostics (CODX), a micro-cap healthcare company that has developed a test for the diagnosis of coronavirus. As companies’ valuations have tumbled mercilessly since the outbreak began, CODX shares have soared in the opposite direction. The stock is up by an incredible 919% year-to-date. On March 20, the company announced that, as required for FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), its Logix Smart COVID-19 test had successfully completed its clinical evaluation. The test exhibited 100% sensitivity along with 100% specificity in detecting SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), and indicated no cross-reactivity with other coronaviruses. In addition to the thousands of laboratories that can now run the company’s test as a clinical diagnostic, the company will immediately begin fulfilling orders from a large number of US customers. Along with the US, the test has already been shipped to countries across five continents including heavily hit Italy, as well as Germany, the UK, Turkey, Thailand, Australia, Paraguay, Israel, and Canada, amongst others. 5-star H.C. Wainwright analyst Yi Chen is encouraged by the test’s “excellent accuracy” and noted, “As the coronavirus spread continues around the world, we expect that Co-Diagnostics’ prompt, accurate and cost-effective testing product should remain its primary top-line growth driver in the near term… In our view, the company is now able to serve the urgent need for rapid and accurate COVID-19 testing in the US, which has been lagging other developed countries on the testing front; the volume of tests shipped to domestic labs should ramp up in the immediate-term.” It’s no surprise to learn that Chen reiterated a Buy rating on CODX and kept his price target at $20. The implication for investors? Further upside in the shape of 121% could be in store. (To watch Chen’s track record, click here) Based on one other Hold rating published in the last three months, Co-Diagnostics currently has a Moderate Buy consensus rating. The average price target comes in identical to Chen’s at $20. (See Co-Diagnostics stock analysis on TipRanks)

    Benzinga Pro's Stock To Watch For Thurs., Mar. 26, 2020: Co-Diagnostics (CODX)

    Benzinga Pro's Stocks To Watch For Thursday: Co-Diagnostics (CODX)The company is a provider of reagents used for diagnostic tests and has been considered by traders one of the earliest plays on coronavirus testing. The company announced Jan. 23 the design of a test for the coronavirus disease, COVID-19, using its CoPrimer platform. Shares have rallied about 800% since this release at the end of January. The stock rallied nearly 10% on Wednesday as broader stocks were up about 1%. In pre-market action Thursday, shares were up another 7%.The catalyst from Wednesday seemed to be a press release from investor relations company BDA which highlighted Mar. 18\- and Mar. 23-dated H.C. Wainwright research notes reiterating a Buy rating and $20 price target.The release Wednesday highlighted from the Mar. 18 note, "Co-Diagnostics has validated its Logix Smart COVID-19 test and submitted an EUA application to the FDA. We are aware that EUAs have thus far been issued to tests developed by Roche, Thermo Fisher, Hologic, LabCorp, Quest Diagnostics and Quidel, with the last two EUAs issued late yesterday. It seems the FDA continues to issue EUAs even though EUA is no longer required under the new guidance."There did not appear to be any new information (compared to the original H.C. Wainwright notes) shared in the press release Wednesday.It should be noted Co-Diagnostics shares were up about 1.8% on Mar. 18 when the first H.C. Wainwright note was published; shares were down about 9% on Mar. 23 when the second noted highlighted in Wednesday's release was published. Given the extreme sensitivity of this stock's price recently amid the coronavirus outbreak, it seems odd the stock wouldn't have moved on the two previous days when H.C. Wainwright published these notes.

    Co-Diagnostics Sees 'Aggressive Expansion' In Coronavirus Test Distribution After FDA Policy Revision

    Co-Diagnostics Inc (NASDAQ: CODX) shares were rallying Tuesday following an update from the company regarding its COVID-19 test. The molecular diagnostic company said a revised FDA policy on COVID-19 diagnostic testing that was announced Monday will allow the company to "aggressively expand" its presence in the U.S.FDA Eases Testing Rules An update to the FDA policy, originally issued Feb. 29, aims to create more rapid testing capacity in the U.S.The new measures, among other things, call for states to take responsibility for tests used by labs in the respective states.As opposed to the earlier rule allowing only high-complexity testing consistent with requirements under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments to carry out testing, the FDA now said it does not object to commercial manufacturers distributing and labs using new commercially developed tests prior to the agency granting emergency use authorization, or EUA, under certain circumstances. New Rules Widen Co-Diagnostics' Reach Due to the change in the policy, Co-Diagnostics' test kit will soon be available for use by and marketed to a wide array of U.S. laboratories without first requiring Emergency Use Authorization, the company said.Co-Diagnostics said it is the first U.S. company to obtain a CE marking --- a seal of approval to be used in Europe -- for a COVID-19 test."International shipments have continued to escalate," the company said in a press release. The Logix Smart COVID-19 test kits are being shipped to Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Greece, the Philippines, Thailand, Australia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Israel, South Africa and Canada, in addition to customers and research institutions in the U.S."With no known treatment or approved vaccine for the highly-infectious COVID-19, the need for accurate and rapid diagnoses has never been greater. Our cost-effective Logix Smart CODIV-19 test has been designed to run on a variety of commercially available platforms, with easy-to-interpret results in under two hours. We are confident in our ability to meet the growing demand for this diagnostic," CEO Dwight Egan said in a statement. The stock was rallying by 27.97% to $11.63 at the time of publication Tuesday.
