The Breakout for Today: CPHD

Hello my Investors, Traders and Readers Friends. I was checking over the weekend of stock market information. Thus, we find a number of stocks with very interesting behaviors. One is Cepheid (CPHD). On Friday, the stockclosed at U.S. $ 43.14, experiencing an increase of 25.59%. Its volume was 5.66 millions of shares. That is almost 8 times the volume that is traded daily. Some reports mention that this increase is explained by two reasons. First, because the company has reported good results. The company's sales grew 36% during the quarter. Furthermore, profits were U.S. $ 0.14 per share, while Wall Street was expecting a loss of $ 0.01 per share. The second reason is that during the past week, Roche offered U.S. $ 5.7 billions for the purchase of Ilumina, a competitor of CPHD. The market would be assuming that this company could be the next buyout target.
