BioCryst Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: BCRX), which has been en fuego recently after receiving orders from the U.S. for 10,000 courses of intravenous peramivir for H1N1, could be a battleground stock today.
Today the New York Times reported that late Thursday the government announced orders for intravenous versions of Tamiflu and Relenza, which are much cheaper than BioCryst's peramivir.
The Times suggests BioCryst could give up their gains on the news.
But bulls claim that BioCryst's star is just starting to shine, as swine flu spreads across the country. The beginning of the Times article describes the case of a woman on her death bead from swine flu that recovered after receiving BioCryst's drug. Biotech investors often invest in hope - and the hope for peramivir looks promising.
Either way, up or down today, the BioCryst story it not ending it has just started.
