Here’s what investors need to know about MDGS stock and the news affecting it today.

  • First off, it’s not Medigus that is conducting the pre-clinical trials that have investors excited.
  • Polyrizon, a private company that Medigus has a 33.24% stake in, is behind that news.
  • The company is developing biological gels to protect patients against biological threats and external pathogens.
  • The pre-clinical trial data revealed today has to do with these products.
  • Polyrizon says that its gels proved effective at reducing the risk of infection from the novel coronavirus.
  • The company also notes that this could mean that the gels would be able to prevent COVID-19 completely.
  • Polyrizon tested a variety of different gels in the pre-clinical trial to get its results.
  • Following the success of this, the company has announced plans for clinical trials of its biological gels.
  • Since Polyrizon is a private company, traders are likely investing in MDGS instead due to its stake in the medical company.
  • As a result of this, the penny stock is experiencing heavy trading today.
  • This has some 115 million shares of the stock changing hands as of this writing.
  • That’s a massive jump compared to the company’s daily average trading volume of about 246,000 shares.
  • It’s worth pointing out that traders will want to be careful with MDGS stock today.
  • The low price makes it easy to manipulate and it could fall following today’s news.
  • For an idea of what Medigus does, the tech company handles “advanced medical solutions, innovative internet technologies and electric vehicle and charging solutions”
