Today has been a rough day with more 52-week lows than we can recall in quite some time. The biotechs haven’t been immune. You can even see that the Biotech HOLDRs (BBH) at $160+ are only about 2% above the 52-week lows of $157.95, while the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology (IBB) ETF at $80.29 is only about half-way in its 52-week trading range of $72.37 to $89.00. The difference is because of the composition.
Here are BIOTECH STOCKS hitting 52-week lows today:
- Amgen (AMGN)
- Amylin Pharma (AMLN)
- Arena Pharma (ARNA)
- Cleveland Biolabs (CBLI)
- Geron (GERN)
- Introgen (INGN)
- Progenics Pharma (PGNX)
- Somaxon Pharma (SOMX)
- Spectrum Pharma (SPPI)
- Supergen (SUPG)
If you wantto see how bad today is look at the master list of 52-week lows we compiled two hours ago with financials, restaurants, retail, REIT, property, tech and more. It’s a huge list.
