  • Biotech sentiment has been supported by M&A activity and positive clinical-trial news; the biotech ETF was up 2.10% in the regular session.
  • No fresh company-specific catalyst surfaced October 21. KeyBanc’s October 16 target increase to $20 from $16 is prior news, not clear evidence of the move’s cause.
