VIVUS (VVUS) in Focus: Stock Jumps 6.4% in Session

VIVUS Inc. VVUS was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 6% on the day. The move came on solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $1.04 to $1.40 in the past one-month time frame.

This Med-Biomed/Gene industry stock witnessed one negative estimate revision over the past 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate also moved down over the same time frame, signaling trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if Friday’s move higher lasts.

VIVUS has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

However, a better-ranked stock in the same space is Actelion Ltd. ALIOF, sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
