As investors seek low-cost biotech equities with high potential upside, the gradual and steady performance of some firms may provide viable financial returns in the future years.
One company of interest in this specific category is Regencell Bioscience Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:RGC), an early-stage bioscience company focusing on the research, development, and commercialization of Traditional Chinese Medicine ("TCM"
.
Regencell Bioscience focuses on the research and development of neurocognitive disorders and degeneration, more specifically in ADHD, ASD, and infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
The bioscience company went public with around 2.6 million ordinary shares at $9.50 per share, raising approximately $22.7 million.
RGC has kept investors interested and has received media attention for all the right reasons; the most recent - the company's chairman and CEO, Yat-Gai Au used over $5.9 million of his personal funds to purchase ordinary RGC shares through the open market to support the growth and potential of the company.
Sizable stock purchases by insider investors, with the CEO being an exception, have helped the company sidestep short sellers and hedge fund managers that have been taking advantage of small-time investors. Currently, the company has just over 2.6 million shares on the market available for trade.
Why $RGC?
RGC is not ordinary, and in many ways, we can see why investors have started noticing the company.
So far, year-to-date share prices have increased by 17.03% while the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index has only gone up by 2.69%. On average, share prices are zig-zagging between $34.79 and $35.84, and some investors have set up their year range closer to $59.00 per share.
For the six months between July 2021 and December 2021, the company reported a basic diluted loss per share of $0.29, compared to $0.03 for the same period of 2020.
The loss could be attributed to the company's sudden increase in operating expenses, which jumped from $368,465 for the 6 months ending December 31, 2020, to $3,658,906 for the same period in 2021, an increase of roughly 893%.
The company reported cash availability of $19 million in December 2021, compared to $0.06 million in June 2021. The main source of cash came from net proceeds of the company's IPO, including proceeds from the sales of over-allotment shares, totaling approximately 22.7 million.
Initially, when the company went public back in July 2021, share prices were well below their current levels, and a month later, in August 2021, share prices jumped as much as 204% in a single trading session. Since going public, Regencell has treated more than 88 COVID patients with over 94% effectiveness in eliminating symptoms within 6 days; they have ongoing ADHD/ASD clinical studies and were included in the MSCI world microcap index. RGC was also one of the top best-performing stocks on Nasdaq in 2021, according to www.stockanalysis.com.
Late last year, Regencell entered preliminary trials for ADHD/ASD. During this time, the stock was trading in the low $20's range. By mid-February 2022, share prices had climbed over $40 before scaling down to the $20's range.
Although market conditions have been volatile and investor sentiment negative, RGC has performed quite well since April 2022, with share prices making a swing above $30. The recovery of the stock performance comes from positive clinical results related to the company's RGC-COV19 TCM formula.
From our view, we can expect RGC to see another price swing in the coming months when the company announces a second clinical study of a standardized TCM formula for the treatment of ADHD and ASD. Regencell has been working to establish an industry benchmark for treatment, dosing, adverse effects, and measuring patient response.
The promising track record and positive clinical results have kept investors interested as RGC has remained relatively stable and resolute in its performance. For investors who can digest small purchases a lot better, RGC could outpace sluggish market conditions.
