Biotechs (using BTK over last 15-16 years)

  • Biotechs have historically outsized returns from now through June 5. Average daily gain in May is typically 9-10 bps. The average from May 23 to month-end is 18 bps however with Monday being one of the worst days of the month though only up 1 in 3 days and home to a 7% crash in the past.
  • The first 5 days in June average 47 bps vs. only 7 bps overall in June
  • That means the rest of June is down on average on a daily basis
  • Only 50% of rest of May days are up however on average (vs. 50.3% overall for May) and 55% are up in early June vs. 50.7% for month.
  • June gets good again only late in month from June 24-28
  • 63% of days in that period are higher which is high for whatever reason for bios.
  • Only 52% of biotech days overall are up
  • And that is in last 15-16 years of a bull mkt for bios 3:4
  • The main issue is that there three bear periods in there eating up 5-7 years depending on how you define it (2000-2003, 2008-20099, 2015-2016)
