In the period of January – April 2020, as COVID-19 continued to spread, expectations were high regarding the flu antiviral drug called “Avigan,” which was developed by a pharmaceutical subsidiary company of FUJIFILM Holdings.
In response to these expectations, many Qr1 users turned their attention to FUJIFILM stock and its stock price rose.
