Healthcare Stocks with Turnaround Potential

HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2018 / After a tough year, the prospect that a split congress could be a good thing for healthcare stocks is causing some investors to look again at several smaller healthcare companies that may rebound after being beaten down.

We have listed several below that we feel still may be oversold. Companies with late stage assets and that have upcoming trials are always interesting opportunities. Once those trials are complete, the announcement of positive results could attract significant investor interest.

One such company we like a lot is Delcath Systems, Inc. (DCTH). The company recently announced several major cancer centers have adopted the amended trial protocol for the company's trial in Hepatic-Dominant Ocular Melanoma (The FOCUS Trial) using its product Melphalan/HDS. The company has also initiated a global phase 3 clinical trial in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (the ALIGN Trial). With a global registration trial and a global Phase 3 trial in cancers affecting the liver, now may be the time to do your due diligence on DCTH.

Companies we're highlighting include: Delcath Systems, Inc. (DCTH), Geron Corporation (GERN), ARCA biopharma, Inc. (ABIO), Insmed Incorporated (INSM), and ImmunoGen, Inc. (IMGN).
