In this Friday edition of Advisors in Focus, our focus turns to tickers and groups that saw surging interest from your clients and other retail investors in recent days. We often bring you the most searched tickers over a given timeframe. However, this edition highlights areas that have seen the highest percentage spike in the past two days, which showcases what stocks or groups are trending comparatively and helps you better understand areas of client interest. For example, maybe some of your clients have been asking you about Corvus Pharmaceuticals (CRVS) in recent days; the stock saw a surge of interest after rallying 40% earlier this week when the company released data from a study of CPI-006, a novel immunotherapy for patients with COVID-19.
Please find below the complete listing of other stocks, exchange traded funds, industry groups, and ETF categories that saw the highest growth in retail investor interest over the past two days versus the previous five days, according to the latest TrackStarIQ data.
