Why Gilead Sciences Stock Was a 5% Winner Today

Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) stock was off to a good start this week, rising by more than 5% on Monday against the modest (0.4%) gain of the S&P 500 index. The prominent pharmaceutical company had some good news to impart about an important cancer drug. Gilead announced that morning that its breast cancer treatment Trodelvy recorded "statistically significant and clinically meaningful" results in a phase 3 clinical trial.
