What I’m Watching
I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to sort for stocks with the highest technical buy signals; superior current momentum in both strength and direction; and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. NBTX checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a new “Buy” on Aug. 27, the stock has gained 200.78%.

The Bottom Line on Nanobiotix
Analysts project growth in revenue and earnings for Nanobiotix, and the company has an emerging following by Wall Street analysts. Investors should note the stock’s volatility and employ disciplined risk management.
At this point NBTX is a speculative opportunity and needs time to prove it can increase revenue and earnings.
