After a slow start to 2024, February and the beginning of March turned out to be a very strong period for Biotech and Life Science stocks as illustrated above. Even more so, if measured since late October 2023. Looking at 2024, the general S&P Biotech index is now up 7.7 percent year-to-date, outperforming MSCI World All Countries which is up 7.0 percent. Nordic focused HCA Little Mermaid index is up 6.0 percent.
