Core Viewpoint - Iovance Biotherapeutics has seen a recent surge in stock price, increasing approximately 67% in the past month, despite being down roughly 70% over the past year, raising questions about the sustainability of this rally [1][2]. Group 1: Stock Performance - The stock has experienced a significant price spike without any clear catalyst, with trading volumes exceeding 110 million on July 23, compared to the usual daily volume of below 20 million [4][6]. - The recent surge in stock price is attributed to speculation rather than any meaningful news or earnings report, which is expected next week [6].
