Inovio Pharmaceuticals (INO) surged Monday on a Reddit call to action and after investment firm BlackRock upped its stake in the biotech company. INO stock soared to a five-month high.
The Reddit post details "a battle against corruption in the FDA, Big Pharma and shorts." Inovio Pharma is one of several biotech companies working on a Covid-19 vaccine. It's also testing a treatment for a precancerous condition of the cervix.
Shares of INO stock catapulted 31.5% near 16.80 in afternoon trading on the stock market today.
In addition to the Reddit call, INO stock jumped on BlackRock's investment. A Securities and Exchange Commission filing shows BlackRock now owns more than 14.2 million shares of INO stock, or 8.4% of the company.
