A Company That Once Saw Its Stock Trade Over $50 This Year Has Become A Penny Stock Overnight

It is not every day when a strong stock plummets to become a penny stock. When trading penny stocks, it involves trading any stock worth less than $5. It is recommended that when looking for penny stocks to buy, you should utilize news catalysts. Sometimes, however, a news catalyst can destroy the price of a stock.

A New Penny Stock: InflaRx (IFRX)

InflaRx NV (IFRX Stock Report) is a biotechnology company that develops monoclonal antibodies to treat deadly inflammatory diseases. Due to this being a biotech penny stock, news involving their pipeline can be extremely influential. The company’s shares have never traded below $10. This drastically changed after their recent latest announcement.

A Pile of Bad Penny Stock News

On May 23rd, InflaRx released their Q1 report. While it was not immediately impactful, it was definitely a spark to the sharp drop on June 5th.  They reported a € 0.43 loss per share and although it beat projections, reporting a loss is never great. In addition, their research and development expenses were larger by € 2.2 million year-over-year. The increase in expenses mainly came due to their trials for IFX-1.

Because they increased spending on their IFX-1 program, there was definitely high hopes for it. However, they announced their drug IFX-1’s Phase 2b results and it was not pretty. They revealed that IFX-1 was not statically significant in its effectiveness compared to the placebo treatment. This penny stock news is what prompted IFRX stock to fall from $37.42 to $3.15 in a single day.

“We are disappointed that we were not able to demonstrate a significant signal on dose response for the treatment with IFX-1. While we are still analyzing additional data, we note that the trial demonstrated an unusually high placebo HiSCR rate at week 16.”

Othmar Zenker, Chief Medical Officer of InflaRx.
