Seattle Genetics, Inc. was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 8% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent uptrend for the company for the company—as the stock is now up 3.5% in the past one-month time frame.
The move came after the company's announcement that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to Adcetris (brentuximab vedotin) in combination with chemotherapy for the frontline treatment of patients with advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
The company has seen three positive estimate revisions in the past few weeks, while its Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has also moved higher over the past few weeks, suggesting that more solid trading could be ahead for Seattle Genetics.
