Research Report: Vera Bradley (VRA)
A contrarian bet in the retail sector. The stock has not recovered yet from the COVID-19 sell-off, the balance sheet is adequate, and they saw positive organic growth the prior year.
Research Report: Townsquare Media (TSQ)
TSQ has been overly punished from its high debt load and past association with a larger Live Events footprint. But both risks are overstated.
Research Report: AcelRx Pharmaceuticals (ACRX)
Sales of sublingual sufentanil tablet Dsuvia have been slow out of the gate, but we remain very bullish on the long-term prospects.
Research Report: ObsEva (OBSV)
The company will need more financing if they don't secure a commercial partner, but phase 3 results demonstrate that linzagolix will be another beneficial option for physicians treating uterine fibroids and endometriosis.
Research Report: Vericel Corporation
Shares sold off hard from the COVID-19 panic. But they have plenty of cash, no debt, and we are confident that strong MACI sales growth will resume once elective surgeries do.
Research Report: Tailored Brands (TLRD)
TLRD is battling two very disruptive trends in men’s fashion. While it’s too early to tell if the changes they are making can stabilize the negative trend in comps, any signs of improvement will signal that they are not just another dying retailer.
Research Report: ODP
After climbing to above $3.50/share in early April, ODP has sold off almost 50%, driven by the lower than expected operating performance at the CompuCom division.
Research Report: Townsquare Media
In 2018, TSQ's continuing operations generated $44M of free cash flow to equity (FCFE). Based on management’s 2019 adjusted EBITDA guidance, 2019 should see another $40M+ of FCFE. The forward PE and the 5.5% dividend yield make this a strong buy.
Research Report: PBYI
The lowered 2019 Nerlynx net sales guidance after 1Q19 results puts previous peak sales estimates of $1B+ in doubt. However, given the large sell-off, even with much lower peak sales estimates in the $500M+ range, there is still a lot of upside.
Research Report: XIN
XIN is a Chinese real estate company trading at a depressed valuation (common for Chinese companies). But the projects outside of China, the investment by global firm TPG, and the 29 consecutive dividends (currently at 9%) significantly de-risk this.
Research Report: MDR
We continue to remain very bullish on MDR even after the reaction to 1Q19 earnings, and think that the forward P/E of 3.6x (based on 2020 and beyond EPS) indicates that it has been too overly-punished. This is a strong buy.
Research Report: Akebia Therapeutics, Inc.
As of 4Q18, AKBA had cash of $322M. Additionally, AKBA is eligible to receive over $150M in development and regulatory milestones from its collaboration partners.
Puma Biotechnology: A Favorable Risk/Reward Bet
PBYI dropped about 8% when the EU/Africa licensing deal with Pierre Fabre was announced for potential blockbuster candidate Nerlynx, which is currently approved in the US and EU for HER2+ breast cancer treatment (post-Herceptin).
