Rocket Pharmaceuticals (RCKT) has a market cap of $3.42 billion and is one of the promising Russell 2000 stocks with possible growth in thelong-term. The stock has recorded consistent growth over the past few years now. The long-term momentum is also bullish considering the catalysts in the market.

Few other catalysts willhelp RCKT stock to continue bullish momentum in the coming year, including promising initial data from Phase 1 of the Danon disease study.

Bank of America rates the stock as a buy.
