We are keeping an eye on Cellectis SA (CLLS). The Paris, France biotech company is currently developing immuno-oncology products to fight cancer. The stock is on a six-day 27.5% winning streak (through Wednesday, Sept. 16th) and was upgraded to a Buy at Citigroup on Aug. 16th. Advisors are showing a growing interest in the ticker, as Cellectis saw a surge in research activity last week (compared to the previous week). The rally in shares and the increased web traffic is also notable because the interest comes ahead of a company presentation at a Bank of America Global Healthcare Conference on Thursday, Sept. 17th.
