Biotech stocks started last week on a strong note but the upward momentum slowed through the week. The week saw a slew of earnings from big pharma names, including Merck & Co., Inc. MRK and Pfizer Inc. PFE. Merck disappointed by lowering its outlook, although sell-side stayed positive on the prospects.
Presentations at the American Association of Cancer Research Virtual Conference created some volatility. Verastem Inc VSTM became a casualty of "not-so-impressive"Â clinical data on its Phase 1 asset VS-6766 that targets KRAS mutant advanced solid tumors. The stock shed about 57% to a low of $1.77Â before recovering some lost ground.
Here are the key catalysts for the unfolding week.
