#7 - Dyne Therapeutics (NASDAQ:DYN)
The field of stocks under $50 is filled with many biotechnology companies. Taking a position in these companies while they’re still in the clinical trial stage can reap huge gains if they successfully bring a drug to market.
That’s the case with Dyne Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: DYN). The company’s FORCE platform is targeting muscle diseases with the goal of stopping or potentially reversing the progression of diseases such as myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).
The company’s lead candidates, DYNE-101 and DYNE-251, are in early-stage trials. That puts the company years away from revenue and earnings. However, analysts are bullish on DYN stock with a consensus Buy rating and a $37.43 price target.
Investors looking to take a long position must be patient as short interest is above 16%, which could lead to short-term volatility. But companies like these require a belief in the story. In this case, you won’t be alone.
