1 Stock to Shine in the Biotech Renaissance
Right now, were experiencing a once-in-a-century event. Not since the Spanish flu in the 1910s has a disease turned society on its head.
With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging throughout the world, with new lockdowns being put in place everyone keeps hoping for the one thing that can bring life back to normal a vaccine.
Because of this need for a vaccine, all eyes are on the biotech sector.
And small biotech names that are often overlooked by the markets are getting attention they wouldnt have otherwise got.
Today, Im going to show you one way you can profit from the upswing in the entire biotech sector.
And Im not talking about buying into Big Pharma. There is a much more lucrative profit opportunity by staying small
Huge Potential in Small Caps
Small-cap stocks always have much more to gain from breakthrough clinical trials and treatments.
Just look at the recent price action of Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA).
Both have developed mRNA vaccines with huge promise Pfizers has already been approved for distribution in the U.K.
Both Pfizers and Modernas vaccine candidates appear to be on the path to get emergency use approval. This is huge. That means that by the end of the year both companies could be distributing their vaccines to people who need it most right now: front-line workers and those at high risk for contracting serious COVID symptoms.
News surrounding the vaccines has resulted in a pop in the share prices for both companies but the gains are not equal
Even though Pfizers candidate is technically closer to emergency approval in the U.S., its stock is only up over 13% from a year ago.
Modernas stock, on the other hand, is up over 600% because of the size of the company.
Smaller stocks especially have a lot to gain from both biotech catalysts and as things get back to normal.
And right now they are on the rise for the first time in a while just reaching their all-time highs this November.
This is where the Defiance Nasdaq Junior Biotechnology ETF (NASDAQ: IBBJ) comes in.
