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.

Half of its market cap is cash. They’ve been slowly building a portfolio of futures in drugs. Knight has been waiting for the prices of companies like Valeant to drop. Knight sold assets to other companies that are struggling, and will probably wait to get them back at lower prices than it sold them for. He prefers Cipher, but likes Knight.
