The Season is Here for Terra Tech Corp (OTCMKTS:TRTC)

Published

on

Terra Tech Corp (OTCMKTS:TRTC) is back at $0.25 where it started before the run up with the rest of the pot sector took the stock over $0.50. Everyone remembers the run TRTC made the last time the sector heated up running from around $0.30 to a high of $1.42.

TRTC began its days as a stock promotion and was covered by every newsletter in the book in the early days. At some point however the stock got caught up in the pot boom and took on a life of its own making a spectacular run to $1.42.

There are plenty of reasons to gets excited about pot stocks here; according to a recent report from MMJ Business Daily, 2015 is expected not only to see more investment dollars flow into the market but it could even outpace the growth rate seen in 2014. States like Nevada, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Alaska have all been identified as industry drivers this year. Furthermore, the rise in “big money” from some major investment funds has just started to hit the sector.

Terra Tech Corp (OTCMKTS:TRTC) manufactures state-of-the-art growhouse equipment that is now sold word-wide through its subsidiary GrowOpTechnology Ltd. Through its own growing facilities and its alliance with hydroponic farmers the Company sells its Edible Garden produce to supermarkets such as Demoulas and Shoprite supermarket in states such as New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

The Company was initially incorporated as Private Secretary, Inc. on July 22, 2008 in the State of Nevada. The Company planned to develop a software program that would allow for automatic call processing through VoIP technology. On January 27, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Terra Tech Corp and a new pot stock was born.

The Company is run by Derek Peterson a former Vice President at Morgan Stanley. He left Wall Street because he saw a huge opportunity in medical marijuana. His vision is setting up growing facilities in various states to grow herbs such as basil and thyme with plans to switch to Marijuana production as state laws permit.

According to online sources Derek Peterson and his wife Amy Almsteier were charged with accepting illegally issued securities and selling these shares. This followed Petersons filing for personal bankruptcy.

As Derek Peterson recently remarked ”I am happy to slow down growing thyme and oregano,” if the policy world tilts towards marijuana legalization.”

Terra Tech believes that the future of Cannabis farming is going to be done inside of commercial-scale, Dutch hydroponic-style greenhouses, using energy from the sun in combination with other technologies. The Company has been busy strategically expanding the Dutch System in key states where legalization is likely. Once it has TRTC will be in a position to cash in.

Back in March TRTC announced they are developing a research and industrial extraction facility focused on the medical cannabis market. The facility was built in response to what the company views as an increase in demand for high grade CBD as well as other cannabis extracts. On September 9, 2014 the company’s Board of Directors unanimously voted to allow the company to engage in the production, extraction and retail sale of medical cannabis if done so in full accordance with the state and local medical marijuana laws(ordinances) in which they operate. This allows the company’s executive team to transparently operate in the medical cannabis market.

The Company recently announced that they have completed testing and formulating compounds at their cannabinoid extraction facility in Northern California and are now moving into production. The company will be producing a variety of oils, waxes and other mediums of concentrated cannabinoids

Much of TRTC success in terms of volume and price movement has been their ability to get their story into the national media spotlight with such news outlets as the Wall Street Journal, National Geographic, Fox Business News, The Huffington Post, the Daily Telegraph and CTV new all featuring the TRTC story.

Currently trading at a $47 million market valuation TRTC does have $3.5 million in the treasury and is already doing millions in revenues and if the Company is able to fill their significant facilities with growing Cannabis as planned sales could really jump. That however is a long way off and for now TRTC continues to lose money and cover that loss with paper which is not a good combination at all. TRTC is lucky to be at the forefront of one of the fastest growing sectors to come around in a long time, what they do with this opportunity remains to be seen.

Orchard Therapeutics’ (NASDAQ: ORTX) Shares Skyrocket: How To Predict Biotech M&A

Published

on

Orchard Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ORTX) experienced a remarkable 97% surge in its shares following a major announcement on October 5th, 2023. The renowned global gene therapy leader, Orchard, has been successfully acquired by Kyowa Kirin (OTC: KYKOF), solidifying its position as a fully owned subsidiary.

The Agreement:

The agreement outlines that Kyowa plans to buy all Orchard Therapeutics’ shares at $16.00 per share in cash (totalling about $387.4 million or around ¥57.3 billion) upon closure. This price is a 144% premium to Orchard’s previous value at close on October 4th, 2023.

As part of this deal, Orchard shareholders will receive an additional non-transferable CVR. Holders of the CVR will get a cash payout of $1.00 per share once OTL-200 for treating MLD in the U.S. gains approval.

For those that aren’t familiar, CVR stands for Contingent Value Right. It is a type of financial instrument or contractual right that entitles the holder to a payment or benefit if specific, predefined events or conditions are met. In the context of mergers or acquisitions, CVRs are often used as an additional incentive or compensation to shareholders based on the performance or success of certain agreed-upon benchmarks, such as the approval of a drug, achieving specific sales milestones, or reaching certain financial targets. The CVR allows shareholders to participate in the potential future success of a merged or acquired entity.

Predicting M&A in Advance:

Now that Orchard has been acquired, it’s probably not in your best interest to be trading it. What’s more important is being able to spot potential merger & acquisitions (M&A) before it happens. While it may seem like a large hurdle, enough research can put you in the right spot at the right time. And if you can do it well, there’s no question you’ll be increasing your earnings. Here’s 3 factors to think about when looking for potential M&A candidates.

1. Misvalued to the Extreme: Celgene’s Journey

Ever noticed how stock prices often have a mind of their own? Let’s talk about Celgene ($CELG), a big shot in the biotech world. Riding high with a super successful blood cancer drug called Revlimid, its stock price shot up from $25 to an incredible $139 between 2010 and 2017. Investors were all in.

But out of nowhere everything shifted. Worries about patents and competition suddenly tanked the stock to $60 within’ just 18 months – the stock had a massive swing in sentiment.

Did the once-celebrated star of the biotech world start hemorrhaging money? Was its revenue in a downward spiral? Far from it… In reality, 2018’s revenue saw only a minor dip from its peak in 2017, all the while the company was generating billions in profit.

Celgene gave it their all, teaming up with respected biotech experts, smart acquisitions of smaller companies with great prospective pipelines – even tried to engage Wall Street Critics, but nothing worked.

This twist in fortune caught the eye of Bristol Myers Squibb (NASDAQ:BMY), a company that values stability over trends. The lowered value of Celgene became a golden opportunity for them. They swooped in, acquiring Celgene, and securing promising assets. This stock market tale is a reminder that timing and how people perceive a situation can flip stock fortunes.

2. Great Science, but Lacking Funding:

Ever thought that a groundbreaking medicine should automatically become a hit? Turns out, it’s not that simple. Bringing a new medicine from idea to people’s medicine cabinets is like running an obstacle course. Yes, having solid science behind it is crucial, but that’s just the beginning. The American healthcare system has its quirks. Insurers need to give a nod, hospitals need to adapt to new methods, and doctors need to be convinced.

This process costs a lot of money—hundreds of millions, even a billion dollars—after all the scientific tests are done.

When you come across a small company that’s shown promising results in phase 2 or even phase 3 trials for a new drug, it’s time to dig into the numbers and dive into their financials. Check their balance sheet and cash flow. If financial jargon isn’t your strong suit, focus on a crucial question: “How fast are they spending their cash each quarter?” For instance, if they’re burning around $25 million per quarter and they only have $75 million left in the bank, alarm bells should ring.

Despite good results, a lack of funds could lead their breakthrough drug to end up in the trash bin. Smart financial moves are essential for turning promising data into real-world medical solutions.

This is where M&A steps in. Big pharma companies, with their knack for navigating red tape, join forces with agile biotech firms. M&A acts like a connector, ensuring innovative medicines actually reach the people who need them.

3. Key Shareholder: End of Career or Fresh Start?”

In the world of biotech, M&A isn’t just business—it’s about people and their journeys. Some founders, after years of battling the unpredictable industry, choose acquisition to secure their life’s work. On the flip side, young, ambitious founders, full of ideas, might be tempted by big corporations promising vast resources.

It’s not uncommon for a biotech company with a promising phase two product and solid data to command a valuation as high as $500 million. At this stage, the founding team has likely toiled in relative obscurity for years and looked to investors to fund their ambitious biotech endeavors.

Retaining majority control as a founder throughout product development is rare due to exorbitant costs. But the founder, or founding group, could retain around 5 to 10% of the company’s shares, possibly making them the largest and most influential shareholders. Hence, if Pfizer proposes to acquire the company for $500 million, that’s $50 million for the 67 year old scientist founder, who might just be tempted to take the giant payout and move to Bora Bora.

Another scenario involves young, inexperienced scientist-founders. This may seem counterintuitive; shouldn’t youth embody boldness?

Sometimes, these founders insist on going all the way. Yet, their inexperience can make them vulnerable to sophisticated corporate pitches. They’re promised abundant resources, a worry-free life, and a chance to change the world by teaming up with a giant like Pfizer.

Despite the allure, merging with massive corporations often stifles once-independent entrepreneurs. Ask anyone who’s sold their company to a corporate behemoth – it often isn’t conducive to the flourishing of once-autonomous entrepreneur.

Conclusion:

These tips can be crucial in spotting potential biotech takeovers, but there are still other factors to consider when piecing everything together. Even then, there’s no guarantee of a surefire deal. But if you  make smart, educated guesses with thorough research, you can reap substantial returns – a little luck doesn’t hurt either.

First Wave BioPharma’s (NASDAQ: FWBI) Exclusive License: Repurposing Capeserod for GIT Disorder Solutions

Published

on

First Wave BioPharma (NASDAQ: FWBI) experienced an impressive pre-market surge of approximately 85% on Thursday following the announcement of a licensing agreement with Sanofi (NASDAQ: SNY) concerning Capeserod, a potential treatment for gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders.

The Agreement:

According to the terms of the agreement, the biotech company based in Boca Raton, Florida, will obtain an exclusive global license for Capeserod from the French pharmaceutical giant and assume responsibility for its clinical development in exchange for an initial payment described as “modest.” Additionally, there will be further payments tied to developmental milestones and single-digit royalties based on net sales. Sanofi (SNY) will retain the right of first refusal for the future commercialization of Capeserod.

Sanofi’s research on Capeserod, backed by cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) analysis, suggests that this drug could be a game-changer for a range of gastrointestinal disorders. These conditions represent massive markets with significant unmet medical needs. It’s like discovering a potential solution to some major health challenges.

Capeserod:

Sanofi has a track record with Capeserod, having already conducted seven Phase 1 and two Phase 2 trials to explore its potential in treating neurological disorders. These trials involved over 600 patients, and the good news is that Capeserod showed itself to be safe and well-tolerated. That’s a promising start.

Now, First Wave is eager to get things moving. They’re planning to reach out to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a meeting as soon as possible. The goal? To hash out a clear plan for developing and regulating Capeserod for gastrointestinal diseases. They’re hoping to kick off clinical trials in 2024, which could be a big step forward in bringing this potential treatment to those who need it.

About First Wave Biopharma:

 

First Wave BioPharma is a company focused on developing specialized treatments for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. They’re currently in the clinical-stage, meaning they’re actively testing their therapies on patients to make sure they work effectively.

They have two unique technologies they’re working with. The first one is called adrulipase, which is a special enzyme designed to help people digest fats and other nutrients better. The goal is to make it easier for people with GI issues to absorb these essential elements.

The second technology is niclosamide, a small molecule taken orally. It’s got anti-inflammatory properties, which means it can help reduce inflammation in the body.

Right now, First Wave is especially interested in adrulipase. They’re running Phase 2 clinical trials for it, focusing on patients dealing with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (FW-EPI). This condition often affects people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). The hope is that adrulipase can provide these patients with a safe and effective treatment option that doesn’t rely on animal-derived substances, and it might even reduce the number of pills they need to take every day.

But that’s not all. First Wave is also working on multiple programs involving niclosamide. They’re exploring its potential for ulcerative proctitis, ulcerative proctosigmoiditis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease, all of which fall under the GI disease umbrella.

In a nutshell, First Wave BioPharma is on a mission to create better, more targeted treatments for GI diseases, and they’ve got some promising candidates in their pipeline.

Their latest collaboration with Sanofi hopes to repurpose Capeserod and focus on its development for various gastrointestinal indications. The company has initiated discussions with the FDA to map out a development and regulatory roadmap for Capeserod, with Phase 2 clinical trials slated to commence in 2024.

Insights from InvestorPlace: A Concise Overview

InvestorPlace wrote a bearish article on MULN, here’s the consolidated version: Mullen Automotive’s (NASDAQ: MULN) stock has faced a significant decline after its removal from the Russell 2000 Index due to failure to meet FTSE Russell’s price requirements. This exclusion from the index may result in selling pressure on MULN shares, despite the company having a substantial cash reserve of over $235 million. Mullen’s market capitalization remains low at around $30 million, leading to concerns about dilution as the company recently announced a potential resale of up to 2.33 billion shares, further increasing the number of outstanding shares. The company implemented a reverse stock split to meet Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but its stock price has continued to fall, putting it at risk of delisting from the exchange and will likely have to do another reverse stock split in the near future. Mullen’s attempts to integrate artificial intelligence technology into its vehicles have not generated substantial market enthusiasm, and its optimistic outlook amid challenging financial circumstances remains unconvincing. As a result, it is advised against holding MULN stock in 2023.

Conclusion:

Extensive research across multiple sources has unveiled a wide array of opinions regarding $MULN’s trajectory in the upcoming years. While the company’s management team perceives it as severely undervalued, a critical examination of their financial standing reveals a lack of profitability and no recorded revenue to date. Nevertheless, $MULN may stand at a crucial turning point, as they embark on commercializing several products, potentially leading to revenue generation. Yet, YahooFinance’s data highlights a staggering net income loss of approximately $739 million from operating activities, indicating that positive fundamentals may remain distant in the foreseeable future.
