The values screen, explained · five checks, plain English
This security has not been fully scored against the values screen yet.
- Business activity Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines — no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
- Debt load Interest-bearing debt is of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
- Interest-bearing cash Interest-bearing cash and securities are of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
- Receivables Money owed to the company is of assets, above the 49% limit. Fail
- Revenue purity of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line. Fail
Every security is read against two recognised standards: our stricter asset-based screen (ratios measured against total assets) and the more widely used market-value standard (measured against market capitalisation). Where they agree we say so plainly; where they part ways — almost always on the debt check — we show both readings and mark it, because that disagreement is the finding, not a fault. We report the score; you and your scholar make the call.
The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean
Biotech Muscle Drug Developer Lacks Ethical Data
A patient with a rare muscle disorder waits years for any new pill that might slow the damage. Edgewise is one of several small biotechs chasing that hope with an oral candidate now in mid-stage trials, yet we pass. The ethical screen returns insufficient data because standard financial ratios are missing, and that single gap is enough to keep the name off any list we would consider.
The reported numbers tell a familiar pre-revenue story. Forward earnings sit at minus 26 times, profit margins are zero, and return on equity is minus 38 percent. Thirteen analysts still cluster around a 52 dollar median target, but those forecasts rest entirely on future trial success rather than any current cash generation or competitive edge.
Clinical failure rates in this field remain high, dilution risk is constant, and the absence of basic ratio data blocks any proper ethical review. We therefore stay away until clearer financial and governance information appears. Analysis, not advice.
| Forward P/E | -26.1x |
| Profit margin | 0.0% currently unprofitable |
| Return on equity | -38.1% not currently earning a positive return on equity |
| Debt to equity | 0.77 moderate, manageable leverage |
| Current ratio | 22.61 comfortably covers its short-term bills |
| Beta | 0.28 barely tracks the market's swings |
| Market cap | $4.3B |
| Employees | 154 |
