Stocks of biotech firm Check-Cap (CHEK:US or NASDAQ: CHEK) zoomed over 215 per cent on January 4. The rise came on the heels of last week’s rally when the biotech stock soared nearly 40 per cent. The rally was driven on the back of a notice from NASDAQ that permitted Check-Cap an extra time of 180 days to retain compliance. Earlier, the company had failed to maintain the minimum bid price.
Electric-car battery manufacturer QuantumScape Corp.’s (QS:US or NYSE: QS) stocks doffed almost 41 per cent on Monday after an investigation was launched on possible breach of federal securities laws, informed the company in an exchange filing.
