In the Q3 2020 Investor Letter, Baron Health Care Fund highlighted a few stocks and Schrodinger Inc. (NASDAQ:SDGR) is one of them. Schrodinger Inc. (NASDAQ:SDGR) is a life sciences and materials science company. In the last three months, Schrodinger Inc. (NASDAQ:SDGR) stock gained 23.3% and on December 9th it had a closing price of $66.21. Here is what Baron Health Care Fund said:

“Schrodinger, Inc. is a hybrid computer science, physics, and biotechnology company that has an established software suite allowing drug developers to explore the endless range of possible drug/target interactions allowed via the rules governing single atom interactions. Given that Schrodinger was the best performing IPO in the entire biotechnology space in the first six months of 2020, we were not surprised to see some mean reversion in the third quarter. We remain investors for both the established software business and the biotechnology development arm.”
