SELECTED CASES

SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENTS – Danish stocks

On average, the Danish biotech and healthcare stocks delivered a negative share price performance of the past week of 0.3%. Pila Pharma was the best stock with a 30% increase although it was without any news and based on a turnover of just SEK 300,000 for the whole week. Evaxion also did very well following the announcement of positive results for EVX-B1 vaccine with an undisclosed partner. The market responded negatively to Genmab’s USD 1.8 billion acquisition of ProFoundBio. Finally, Acarix also fell after they submitted an application for cross-trading in the U.S. that could increase the turnover in the stock.

The best stocks year-to-date continue to be Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Zealand Pharma, and Gubra with 71-134% increases after the first 3 months of trading. Overall the Danish biotech and healthcare stocks are in positive territory this year with a year-to-date return of 3.6%.
