Deep dives

JPM Year in Review and Market Performance

Overall, the performance of biotech stocks in 2023 was relatively flat, with regulatory decisions and clinical readouts showing slightly negative performance and financial updates showing the biggest pop. Positive events did not result in continued momentum, and investors did not anticipate events ahead of time. Big events, such as BD announcements, saw a significant pop after the announcement. However, it is important to note that this analysis is a look back at 2023 and may not reflect historical trends.
