#1 - Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:REGN)
Regeneron (NASDAQ:REGN) is one of the most actively traded biotech stocks in 2020. Investors initially traded the stock up when it was named as one of several firms that was developing a vaccine for the coronavirus. However, reality set in when investors realized that a vaccine is months from being approved and ready to deliver at scale.
REGN stock continues to show strength on news that it may have a vaccine ready by August. But that is not certain at all. And the thing with vaccines is that being first is critical.
Investors seem to be digesting that as the stock continues to fight against a level of resistance. Still shares of the stock are up nearly 20% in 2020. And that has a lot to do with the company’s pipeline that includes its headlining drug Dupixent which is used to treat moderate-to-severe eczema. Regeneron may be looking to expand its label for Dupixent in 2020.
Regeneron also continues to show strong sales for Eylea despite the introduction of generic competition and continues to have other drugs in its pipeline.
REGN stock has a P/E of over 23. Analysts have given Regeneron stock a consensus price target of just over $460. However, the two most recent analyst ratings from Oppenheimer and Argus have given the stock price targets of $525 and $540 respectively.
