Small-cap investors and healthcare stocks have always gone hand-in-hand. There are plenty of success stories; companies that make a breakthrough discovery or drug approval and subsequently see their shares shoot to the moon. With the incredible upside each company possesses if it gets rolling, it’s a favourite investment of many for a reason.
But today, that interest is at a fever pitch. The ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has rocked the world and its markets, and the direness of the situation is causing many companies to struggle and investors to worry. At the same time, it has also brought a renewed focus on the healthcare sector, as one of the few bastions of potential strength and hope in turning the situation around.
We always track the most-viewed companies on the popular investor Bullboards, and this year, healthcare is becoming the sector to watch. It’s hard to believe but so far, we’re still in the “early days” of seeing coronavirus-related companies break through onto the most-viewed charts, but the momentum is behind them. With the rest of the market down (healthcare included), it’s easy to see which companies are rising in interest and share price thanks to their coronavirus-related news.
Investor interest in healthcare has always been high on Stockhouse, but the recent climb has been impressive and should only continue from here. Below we give you a table of the most-viewed healthcare companies on Stockhouse since the start of 2020, and the corresponding change in share price during the same period. As always, the snapshot only gives us part of the story, so be sure to dive in and examine the bigger picture for each.
