$MACK,,,what can I say,,this stock has been thrown down, stomped on, tossed off a cliff, stabbed and shot lately. It missed its estimated earnings number, and is only 6 pennies from its 52 week low, closing Friday @ $1.52 then gaining $.02 in the AH market.
Why Keep your Eyes on this?
Its oversold (on all the indicators) and the negative volume is leaving. There was some good buys seen at the end of the day on Friday and I think we should keep our eyes on this stock as institutional Investors have increased holdings since the 1st of the year, the COMPANY (for some reason) paid a dividend a few weeks ago. Of the 8 Analysts covering this company, one says sell, five say hold, one says buy and one says it's a strong by. This is a consensus hold rating with a consensus price target of $8.27. With the .02 increase in Friday's AH, its now sitting on the 30 day SMA.
Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc logoZacks Investment Research upgraded shares of Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:MACK) from a sell rating to a hold rating in a research note issued to investors on Monday, May 15th.
According to Zacks, “Merrimack reported a wider-than-expected loss in the quarter and generated no revenue as it sold Onivyde to Ipsen. With the sale of Onivyde, the company is back to being a development-stage biopharmaceutical company. Thus, the successful development of the three lead candidates in its pipeline is critical for Merrimack’s growth. Moreover, two of the candidates, MM-121 and MM-141, are still being evaluated in phase II studies. And the third candidate, MM-310 entered phase I study in the first quarter of 2017. Also, shares of the company have underperformed the Zacks categorized Medical Biomed/Genetics industry year to date. However, the cash received from Ipsen will be used to pay down the huge debt and return value to shareholders in the form of dividends.”
