In recent times, plenty of biotechnology firms have managed to deliver considerable gains to investors and this week it is the PharmaCyte Biotech Inc (OTCMKTS:PMCB) stock that seems to have caught the fancy of many. On Wednesday, the stock emerged as one of the major gainers as it clocked gains of as much as 40%.
Although the stock managed to record handsome gains, it is also necessary to point out that there was no news about the company yesterday that might have led to such enormous gains. Hence, it might be a good idea for investors to take a look at a development from last week.
Last week, the company announced that its Annual Meeting of Shareholders for the year 2021 was held on June 16. However, the meeting has since been adjourned up until June 30. The company decided to go for an adjournment in order to give its shareholders additional time for voting on Proposal 2.
