Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 6% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $2.27 to $2.78 in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after the company announced that the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) has given positive view recommending orphan medicinal product (orphan drug) designation for RX-3117 to treat pancreatic cancer.

The company has seen one negative estimate revisions in the past few months, while its Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has also moved lower over the past few months, 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.
