Over the past two months, no stocks have seen more traction, attention, and price increases than plays in coronavirus.
With the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc around the world, any company that has been able to pivot and provide necessary services and products has become a hot commodity. Stockhouse investors have highlighted plays in healthcare, technology, and industrials to name a few sectors, and many more potential companies lie in wait.
We constantly track the
most-viewed companies on the popular investor Bullboards, and with almost two months passed since the coronavirus pandemic began in earnest, it seemed like a good time to do a round up and highlight all of the most discussed coronavirus-related plays we've seen so far.
There’s a lot of small-cap interest and potential on hand here, so make sure you dive in and examine the bigger picture for each stock. More importantly, don't forget to let us know which ones you’re excited about, or any worth mentioning that we’ve missed, in the comments!
