VCEL Vericel Corporation

Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PPHM) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise over 14% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent uptrend for the company as the stock is now up nearly 24% in the past one-month time frame.

The company has seen a mixed track record. There has been one upward revision and one downward revision over the past 30 days, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has not been in a trend either. Yesterday’s price jump is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
 
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.
