Four Biotechs Breaking Out
Biotech stocks we follow were big movers Tuesday, and here are four to watch for continued upside.
REGENXBIO Inc. (RGNX) exploded up 18%, or $5.95, to close at $37.40 on very heavy volume of 1.2 million shares traded Tuesday. That is more than three times its average volume. The move was a follow-through from Monday’s surge that came on news that business partner, AveXis (AVXS), also in the gene therapy space, is being acquired by Novartis. Next target is $40-41.
Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (TNDM) tore up 22%, or $1.29, closing at $7.01 on huge volume of 6.6 million shares traded. That is more than four times its average volume.

Having moved up with high velocity, the stock has appreciated a whopping 89% in value in the last three weeks. On March 23, Robert W.
