The jump is a result of Raymond James (NYSE: RFJ) upgrading the stock to a “Strong Buy”, but the upgrade alone is not the primary reason's why VBIV's shares have surged…

Raymond James stated that following its first look at VBI's COVID-19 vaccine data, they believe it could be the best vaccine of them all, which includes all of the first movers and Operation Warp Speed members.
