PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (PTCT Quick QuotePTCT - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 7% 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—as the stock is now up 16.8% in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after an analyst upgraded the stock and raised its target price citing the company’s data issued from a recent study of its drug, risdiplam.

The company has seen a mixed track record when it comes to estimate revisions of one increase and one decrease over the past few weeks, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter hasn’t been in a trend either. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
