SYRS - Why Syros Pharmaceuticals Stock Is Soaring Today
Syros Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Shares of Syros Pharmaceuticals(NASDAQ: SYRS) are soaring today, up by 15.7% as of 11:04 a.m. EST, after the company announced that Mark Alles is joining its board of directors. Alles previously served as CEO of Celgene prior to its acquisition by Bristol-Myers Squibb.
The appointment of a new director wouldn't be a major catalyst for most stocks. But small biotech stocks often spike on any positive news. And the addition of Alles, a well-known industry veteran who helped build Celgene into a major player in the biotech world, is certainly a feather in Syros' cap.
