Hinge Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: HNGE) is not your typical health information services company. It has health care software for joint and muscle health to address musculoskeletal care, acute injury, chronic pain and post-surgical rehabilitation. And its stock rose immediately after its initial public offering priced at $32.00. After a %37.56 close on its first day of trading (May 22), it has traded as high as $41.00 before more recently settling in around $36.00.

Wall Street’s quiet period has now ended and firms have unilaterally lined up with much higher targets. If Wall Street is correct, then there is much more upside as all firms but one have targets above the prior high.
