Now that the biotechnology sector is bouncing back after bottoming earlier this year, some investors may feel like they missed out. Not to worry, you didn’t, and there are still many undiscovered companies that could be set to make a name for themselves.
The misconceptions previously plaguing biotech stocks are no longer as big a threat as originally thought. The government no longer puts the sector companies as a whole in their cross hairs – for now. This positive environment could help biotech firms conduct their plans for the remainder of the year and into 2019.
Some companies to look into include Cronos Group, Inc. (CRON) Aurora Cannabis (ACBFF), Rubius Therapeutics, Inc. (RUBY) and CEL-SCI Corporation (CVM).
