Understanding the Reasons Behind SMMT's Stock Plunge

Summit Therapeutics stock is trading -10.59% below its average target price of $10.67 after dropping -4.7% during today's morning session. Analysts are giving the Mid-Cap Pharmaceutical company an average rating of buy and target prices ranging from $5.0 to $14.0 per share.

Summit Therapeutics has an elevated short interest of 22.4%. The stock's short ratio, or the number of days needed for all shorts to cover their positions, is 6.81. Since 88.14% of the company's shares are owned by insiders, we can infer that there is a degree of alignment between management and shareholder interests. Summit Therapeutics's rate of institutional ownership stands at 7.3%, which is lower than average and further confirms the lack of market confidence in the stock. As a result, Market Inference considers Summit Therapeutics to be the subject of mixed market sentiment.
