The Business, in Plain Words
Why it gives us pause
At 0.5x forward earnings, the price already runs ahead of the business. Our fair value sits at $2.72, below where it trades today. The weak moat is real, but quality alone does not make an expensive price cheap.
The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; as a biotechnology name, trial and regulatory outcomes can move it sharply either way.
