In addition to an upgrade which signals a bullish outlook, 81 percent of the crowd's ratings are bullish and a crowd sourced price target of $0.90 implies a potential upside of more than 27 percent.

"This former $7 stock has been crushed, to some degree with reason but under $1 a bit much," TONY CALATAYUD, a member of the Vetr crowd argued in defense of MannKind's stock. "Should see some nice percentage gains by end of Q1. Not a medium or long term hold. In and out in 90 days."
