  • Stocks to watch as Market Sentiment Turns Positive Amidst a Drop in Uncertainty

    Stocks to watch as Market Sentiment Turns Positive Amidst a Drop in Uncertainty

    The markets are upbeat this morning with the S&P 500, the Dow and the NASDAQ all in the green. This comes amidst analysts’ projections that the uncertainty that characterized the market since March is easing up. When the COVID-19 lockdowns started, the markets entered into deep uncertainty with corporations suspending their projections for future earnings.

    However, this has since changed. Many companies are now offering favourable projections for the rest of the year. Many of them have also proven to be quite resilient and reported strong earnings over the last quarter. With the lockdowns now easing up in the U.S and worldwide, optimism is high that the economy will rebound.

    The optimism is further enhanced by the fact that biotech companies, and research institutions, working on a COVID-19 vaccine are giving positive pointers to a possible vaccine before the end of the year.

    Treatments are also coming up, and the U.S FDA has already approved the use of plasma in the treatment of COVID-19 citing its high efficiency. In this environment of high optimism in the U.S economy, stocks that have good news around them this morning are gaining exponentially. Some of the biggest stock gainers this morning are:

    Aimmune Therapeutics Inc [NASDAQ: AIMT]

    Aimmune Therapeutics Inc is a top performer this morning and is up by over 160%. This follows news that Nestle had agreed to buy the company in a $2.6 billion deal.

    In a statement, Nestle stated that Aimmune’s Palforzia is the world’s first and only FDA-approved treatment for peanut reactions in children aged between the ages of four and seventeen. Prior to the takeover, Nestle already owned 26% of Aimmune.
