3 Biotech Stocks That Are Soaring Higher

Three biotech stocks were among the market's best-performing companies last week.

The third is commercial stage big-cap biotech stock that is racking up profit thanks to a fast-growing cancer drug.

It's anyone's guess whether these three biotech stocks will continue their winning ways in the months and years to come, but I've prepared a slideshow below that highlights what you need to know about PTC Therapeutics , Tesaro , and Pharmacyclics and why each of them have recently surged by 25% or more.
