Metabolix stock looks like a hit. The Cambridge-based company produces “green plastics” from biomass – materials like wood or corn which can decompose over time. This contrasts with petroleum-based plastics, which do not biodegrade.
Since the company went public last October, its stock price has moved from about $15.50 to a high of over $20. It is currently trading at around $18. It has a production partnership with agribusiness giant ADM and a market cap of around $350 million.
