Here's Why Disney, Inovio, Fisker, Aurora, Hyliion Are Moving

One of the most common questions traders have about stocks is “Why Is It Moving?”.

That’s why Benzinga created the Why Is It Moving, or WIIM, feature in Benzinga Pro. WIIMs are a one-sentence description as to why that stock is moving. 

Here’s why shares of Disney, Inovio, Fisker, Aurora and Hyliion are moving.

Shares of Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc INVO are trading higher after Oppenheimer initiated coverage on the stock with an Outperform rating and $35 price target.
