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.

Great company. Well-managed. Very well capitalized. Lots of cash, but not a lot of earnings in the pipeline in the short term. Ultimately to get this stock lifted out of the $6-$8 range it has to have some earnings that are going to kick in. If this company were ever going to become a hostile raider, there is a lot of stuff in the Pharma space that is on sale. He would love to see this company take a run at some of these bombed out stocks. They have the balance sheet to do it, but he doesn’t know that that is their style. Let the company mature a little bit more and revisit it in 12-18 months.
