Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CMO and Expert Comments

“Data from the EASE LID 3 trial of ADS-5102 further illustrates the potential for ADS-5102 to reduce the unwanted involuntary movements called dyskinesia, as well as OFF time, so patients can be more independent in their daily activities,” stated Rajesh Pahwa, M.D., Laverne & Joyce Rider Professor of Neurology and Director of the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

“We look forward to submitting a new drug application for ADS-5102 to the FDA later this year and the potential of bringing the first FDA-approved medicine for the treatment of LID to Parkinson’s patients in the coming year,” said Rajiv Patni, M.D., Adamas’ Chief Medical Officer.  Globe Newswire

 

ADMS Technical Analysis

ADMS opened trading yesterday at $17.71 which was up from the previous days trading of $17.68. ADMS closed trading yesterday at $18.09 and spiked up after market to $19.49, equivalent to a 8% increase from the closing price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see the last time ADMS traded above these levels we have to go back to January 26th when it traded at $20.64. Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that ADMS has been in an overall upward trend dating back to August 30th when it traded at $12.99. ADMS has a float of 14.55 million shares and traded at the normal daily trading volume on Tuesday. For trading purposes, I would like to see ADMS open trading on Wednesday above $19.00 and if it does I would be looking to take a long position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.25 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap up.
