3 Healthcare Stocks Under $5 That Could Double

Medical breakthroughs can make for major winners in the stock market. For example, Motley Fool points to three biotech stock that could have made millionaires out of Initial Public Offering (IPO) shareholders with small investments. (1)

$1,250.55 in Amgen Inc.’s (AMGN) IPO
$1,592.00 in Biogen Inc.’s (BIIB) IPO
And $8,000 in Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD)

As you can see, small investment turned in seven-figures for investors who bought shares in the trio of successful biotechs on IPO day and held on. Of course, these are the exceptions and not the rules, but it’s possible to turn small investments into fortunes if you get lucky and pick the right ones.

Obviously, nobody can promise or guarantee you that any investment is the next AMGN; run from anybody who tells you they can. However, investors can look for upstart medical/drug companies with strong growth prospects and high opinions on Wall Street.

We’ve identified three fast growing companies that Wall Street believes could come close to doubling, maybe more in the next 12-months, according to their consensus price targets.

Sesen Bio, Inc. (SESN)

1 Year Price Target: $7.00 (2)

Current Price: $2.38 (4-14-2021)
