Apexigen (NASDAQ:APGN) stock is rocketing higher on Monday following new coverage of the company from an analyst with EF Hutton Acquisition (NASDAQ:EFHT).

EF Hutton’s coverage of APGN stock started with a “buy” rating. To put that in perspective, the analyst consensus rating for APGN shares sits at “buy.” That’s based on three “buy” ratings for the stock from analysts.

To go along with that, EF Hutton also set a price target of $8 per share for APGN stock. This represents a potential upside of 809% compared to the company’s closing price on Friday.

While the new coverage from EF Hutton was initiated on Jan. 4, it’s only now having a major effect on the company’s shares. That’s likely due to today’s heavy trading volume, which comes in at 65 million shares as of this writing. For the record, the company’s daily average trading volume is about 28,000 shares.
