Hoku’s gains top index
Hoku Scientific Inc. was the best of seven gainers in the 11-stock Bloomberg Honolulu Star-Bulletin index this week.
Hoku gained nearly 6 percent to end at $6.33. Year to date, the fuel-cell technology developer is off more than 16 percent. It went public in August at $6.
Behind Hoku was Cyanotech Corp., up more than 4 percent to close at 75 cents. The microalgae-products company saw a spike this week based on rumors, which it denied, linking it to ethanol production.
Year to date, Cyanotech is up more than 15 percent, but it is still below the $1 level it needs for 10 days to remain on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
