Most stocks have experienced very sharp drops as the markets have plummeted over economic concerns. However, biotechs have been one of the relatively strong sectors because they are not as economically sensitive as other companies.
These dirt-cheap biotech companies all have interesting products in the pipeline which could become major catalysts in the future. The lower-priced stocks tend to have more risk, but far more potential reward. Some of these stocks have analyst price targets that support even more than a double or triple in the next 12 months or so. Here are the stocks that could double or triple anytime between now and the end of 2012:
Inhibitex, Inc. (INHX) is trading around $3.15. Inhibitex is a biotechnology company based in Georgia. This company is working on treatments for shingles (FV-100) and hepatitis C (INX-189).
Inhibitex has a promising pipeline and a partnership with Pfizer. These shares have traded in a range between $1.74 to $5.23 in the last 52 weeks. The 50-day moving average is $3.69 and the 200-day moving average is $3.33. An analyst at Canncord Genuity recently raised the price target on Inhibitex shares to $7.
