Today's MicroMarvel is the biotechnology company Landos Biopharma (LABP). I found the stock by using Barchart's screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum, and having a Trend Seeker buy signal, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 1/8 the stock gained 43.54%.

• Wall Street analysts have 2 hold recommendations in place
• CFRAs MarketScope has a hold rating
• Only 616 investors are monitoring the stock in Seeking Alpha
