Rude Health | finnCap Life Sciences quarterly sector note
finnCap Life Sciences analysts report that the AIM Healthcare Index is up 10% year to date, outperforming the AIM All Share (+6%) and FT All Share (+7%), having suffered with the broader market pull back in Q4 2018, in which AIM Healthcare fell 18%. This compared with a 22% decline in the AIM All Share and 11% decline in the FT All Share. In the past quarter, the AIM Health sector has fallen 1%, not helped by the FDA’s rejection of Motif Bio’s NDA for iclaprim. However, there were 14 finnLife 50 stocks that exhibited double-digit percentage increases, most notable of which are Futura Medica (+112%), Avacta* (+82%), OptiBiotix* (+35%), hVIVO (+34%), Instem (+34%) and ANGLE* (+29%) in the past three months.
