NDW Spotlight Stock
PTGX Protagonist Therapeutics Inc R ($144.95) - Biomedics/Genetics - PTGX is a 5 for 5'er that ranks in the top quintile of the biomedics/genetics sector matrix and has been on peer and market RS buy signals since 2024. After giving two consecutive sell signals, PTGX returned to a buy signal last week when it broke a triple top at $146. The stock gave a second consecutive buy signal Monday when it broke a spread quadruple top at $152. Long exposure may be added in the $140s and we will set our initial stop at $118, which would take out multiple levels of support on PTGX's default chart. We will use the bullish price objective, $182, as our target price.
