Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc is a good buy right now, given its current price of $1.29, which is significantly below the analyst price target of $3 from Jefferies. The stock has shown a strong recent performance with a 5-day change of +9.32% and a 20-day change of +90.55%, indicating positive momentum. However, the main risk is the recent public offering that caused a 20% drop in after-hours trading, which could dilute shares and impact short-term performance.
