E*Trade, Hanmi Financial: Early Volume Plays
NEW YORK (
) -- Several stocks trading near $5 were poised to move on above-average volume during Monday's session.
Novavax
(NVAX) - Get Report
shares were indicated lower in Monday's premarket session after the company terminated negotiations with
ROVI Pharmaceuticals
for a collaboration on Novavax's virus-like-particle-based vaccines against influenza in the country of Spain. The 50-day average daily volume for Novavax is 1.84 million, according to the
Nasdaq
. The stock closed Friday at $2.22 and was down more than 8% in early trading.
Hanmi Financial
(HAFC) - Get Report
should trade on above-average volume after the company said it has retained Cappello Capital to explore strategic alternatives. Last month, shares of Hanmi surged following a report in a South Korea newspaper that said
Woori America Bank
was considering taking a 51% majority stake in the Korean holding company. The 50-day average daily volume for Hanmi Financial is 1.03 million. Shares finished trading Friday at $1.73.
SciClone Pharmaceuticals
(SCLN)
may trade higher Monday after it and
Sigma-Tau
announced additional positive results in a clinical study examining Zadaxin as a vaccine adjuvant to enhance the response to the H1N1 vaccine. The 50-day average daily volume for SciClone is 374,000. The stock closed Friday at $2.68.
E*Trade Financial
(ETFC) - Get Report
may trade on higher than normal volume after the online broker said late Friday it would start charging $9.99 or less per stock or option trade, eliminating its $12.99 commission tier. High-volume customers will continue to pay $7.99 per trade. The 50-day average daily volume for E*Trade is 39.5 million.
