Read MoreHide Full Article

Clovis Oncology, Inc. was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 6% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This reverses the recent trend for the company as the stock is now down 10.6% in the past one-month time frame.

The stock gained after the company received the FDA’s extended approval for its drug in ovarian cancer, Rubraca.

The company has seen one negative estimate revision 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.

Clovis Oncology currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.  

A better-ranked stock in the Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry is Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (LGND - Free Report) , which currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
