In this article:

CORT is a pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and commercializes medications to treat severe metabolic, oncologic and psychiatric disorders. It focuses on drugs for disorders associated with the hormone cortisol. Through its work, the company has discovered over 1,000 proprietary cortisol modulators.

In terms of earnings, CORT posted per-share earnings of $0.32 for the second quarter. That surpassed consensus estimates as well as the prior year’s reading of $0.25. Also, the company’s revenue increased 39% on a year-over-year basis to $163.8 million.

It’s no wonder CORT shares are up 32% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
