Genetic Technologies
Shares of Genetic Technologies
GENE
the Fitzroy, Australia genetic testing company, rose 19% Wednesday as Ladenburg Thalmann analyst Kevin DeGeeter initiated coverage on the company with a Buy rating and $7.50 price target. DeGeeter noted in his report: "Following the rapid expansion of molecular diagnostic products over the past five years, in our view, the sector suffers from a glut of content but a limited supply of companies with commercial infrastructure and regulatory expertise. In this environment we believe Genetic Technologies' strategy of acquiring and repositioning tests offers a more attractive return than internal development." Genetic Technologies traded in a range of $3.41 to $4.20 Wednesday on 60% higher than average daily volume, and closed at $3.87.
