PRISM Mid-Day Movers: Fintech and Women’s Health are Today’s Leaders.
Safe Harbor Financial Holdings (NASDAQ: SHFS) rose 44% midday to about $0.13, up from Tuesday’s $0.0899 close. The gain followed Nasdaq’s approval of an additional 180-day period, through April 19, 2027, to regain compliance with its $1.00 minimum bid price rule. The cannabis banking platform said it may pursue a reverse split if needed, following one completed in September. Shares remain down more than 98% this year, and with a market cap near $100,000, investors should expect continued volatility and dilution risk.
PDS Biotechnology (NASDAQ: PDSB) rose 28.06% to $1.23 by Mid-day, on volume near 9 million shares versus a 754,000 average. We found no new announcement today, but the move follows Monday’s addition of three pharma veterans to the board, including a former Bristol-Myers Squibb corporate development executive. The company is advancing PDS0301 toward Phase 3 in colorectal cancer with liver metastases and is seeking partners for PDS0101. With a market cap near $69 million and 16.5 million shares registered for resale by existing holders, investors should weigh momentum against overhang risk.
Other Notable Movers:
OKYO Pharma (OKYO) up 15%
Agassi Sports Entertainment (AASP) up 10%
Alpha Teknova (TKNO) down -27%
