As of Jun 15, 2026. Market Open.
Fits and starts, always lots of promise. Good management, but stock never quite delivers. Right now lots of chop on the chart, so the market's trying to hold at current levels of $5.75-6. If it can't hold, will probably head back down to $5.14. A lot of the technical indicators are oversold, but justice is not guaranteed by it going back up.
You have to decide if you want to ride it out or go elsewhere. Healthcare is getting interesting. See his Top Picks.
A hidden gem. Low liquidity, but has good topline growth, strong margin expansion potential and the CEO has a great track record from Paladin Labs. It buys existing drug platforms, and can now leverage that platform to introduce new drug therapies. Huge net cash and keep buying back shares.
(Analysts’ price target is $7.60)The stock is acting better, and is up 15% YTD. It has been a while since it saw $6. EPS was -4c vs expectations of (nil). Revenue was $86.6M, beating estimates of $83.1M. EBITDA of $13.58M missed estimates of this $14.47M. Guidance was largely maintained. Revenue rose 4.9%, with margins a bit higher than estimates. Net cash is about $90M. Still not much excitement here. Some recent partnerships look more interesting than the quarterly results. It is good to see the sales gain, but we would not yet call this a dramatic turn.

Had owned this in the past. If you believe in Jonathan Goodman, he has a phenomenal track record at Paladin. He is going to build a lot of value and is a large shareholder himself. In the short term he has a lot of cash, and people get nervous about what he is going to do with it. A bit of a black box at this time. However, some of the deals he has made so far have been phenomenally successful. Thinks the stock will go higher over time. His preference would be Concordia (CXR-T) or Merus (MSL-T), which have better opportunities. This is one he watches and would trade around. If he got a little bit cheaper he would probably buy it.
