Why the move?

As a result, the stock gained 30.8% on May 11 and added 36.7% before market. The stock Novavax takes about 3.60% of the fund PTH.

More Gains Ahead?

Currently, PTH has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold) with a Medium risk outlook. So, it is difficult to get a handle on its future returns one way or another. The fund has a weighted alpha of 47.70. So, there is a decent outlook ahead for those who want to ride this surging ETF a shade further.
