Bavarian Nordic (BVNRY) Soars 7.1%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Bavarian Nordic (BVNRY) shares ended the last trading session 7.1% higher at $11.52. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 7.9% gain over the past four weeks.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.16 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -23.1%. Revenues are expected to be $74.87 million, up 24.9% from the year-ago quarter.
