Seattle Genetics, Inc. was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 6% on Friday. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, which remained volatile and traded within the range of $53.08 –$71.80 in the past one-month time frame, witnessed a sharp increase on Friday.

The move came after the company obtained the FDA’s approval for its ADCETRIS therapy along with CHP chemotherapy.

The company has seen a mixed track record when it comes to estimate revisions of one increase and five decreases in the past month, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has also moved lower over the same time frame. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
