24/7 Wall St. has put together a few stocks that are on the move in the market and provided some color and background information on each, including the consensus price target and range.
KaloBios Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: KBIO) saw its shares soar in Friday’s session, extending its breakout from Thursday. The company is initiating an open-label Phase 1 study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of KB003 in previously treated chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia patients. Also its KB004 is currently in clinical development in the Phase 2 expansion portion of an open-label Phase 1/2 study in hematologic malignancies. Shares of KaloBios were up 51% to $4.58 on Friday. The stock has a consensus analyst price target of $5.00 and a 52-week trading range of $1.71 to $17.20.
Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) is continuing to crumble from its all-time high set earlier this summer. Some traders believe that Netflix is currently in a bear market. And with a high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio at 451 against 2015 expected earnings, the stock will not fare well if it is in fact in a bear market. Netflix shares were down 1.8% to $99.20. The stock has a consensus price target of $118.70 and a 52-week range of $45.08 to $129.29.
