Why Orchard Therapeutics Stock Is Soaring Today

Shares of Orchard Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ORTX) are up by 16.9% as of 12:27 p.m. EDT on Tuesday after rising by as much as 32.9% earlier today. The biotech company did not report any news that served as a catalyst for these massive gains, though, so what gives?

Here is a possible explanation. Orchard Therapeutics' stock was down by more than 60% year to date before today, and perhaps investors who finally felt as though the price was right bid up the company's shares.
