We recently published an article titled Why These 15 Biotech Stocks Are Skyrocketing So Far In 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Invivyd, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVVD) stands against the other biotech stocks.
No matter the market environment, you’ll always find entertainment in the biotech space. There will always be biotech stocks making huge swings in both directions and these stocks can make or break your portfolio in a very small amount of time due to the nature of how important clinical trial results are for these companies.
The United Nations forecasts that the over-65 age group will grow by 150% from 800 million in 2024 to 2 billion by 2067. This “older, richer & sicker” population is expected to push global healthcare spending on medicines up 12% to $2.3 trillion by 2028. If you combine that with AI making breakthroughs in healthcare more frequent, you’ll see many more biotech stocks starting to pop to the upside over the coming years.

The clinical trial showed more favorable safety and tolerability compared to vaccines, with no activation of the subject immune systems, and demonstrated potential as a novel, potent, long-acting COVID-19 treatment option.
On the same day, Invivyd announced preliminary fourth quarter 2024 financial results showing strong revenue growth. Their PEMGARDA™ (pemivibart) product grew revenue by 48% to $13.8 million.

Overall IVVD ranks 1st on our list of the biotech stocks that are skyrocketing so far in 2025.
