Ocera Therapeutics (OCRX) Catches Eye: Stock Jumps 6.8%

Read MoreHide Full Article

Ocera Therapeutics was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise almost 7% on the day. The move came on solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company since Dec 7, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $2.10 to $2.30.

In the last 30 days, the company has seen no estimate revision but the Zacks Consensus Estimate moved lower, suggesting there may be trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent move higher can last.       

Ocera Therapeutics currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

Another well-ranked Medical-Biomedical & Genetics stock is Amarin Corporation plc (AMRN - Free Report) , which flaunts a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
