Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, could you suggest a couple each of your fav. small, mid and large cap biotech stocks and why you like them.

thanks, M

Q: I note that you have trimmed WELL and are adding CPH. Can you provide a bit more color on CPH. There are few questions in your database and the most recent mention by you has it well down in a long list of companies with growth potential so it is curious to me how it made it to your most recent add list. Many thanks. I too have grown weary of WELL so the might be a good time to move on, to CPH? Thank you

Q: Some of my favourite smaller cap stocks. Would appreciate a ranking on 2 fronts. First, please rank from 1 to 12 for the upside potential for the stock price over the next 5 years. Second, please rank from 1 to 12 the downside risk for the stock price over the same time frame. Understood that all are higher than average risk. ATZ, BRM, CPH, GRID, HPS.A, KSI, MDA, PNG, PRL, TGH, VHI, ZDC

Q: There hasn't been an update on this company for some time. Can you provide EPS and Revenue growth forecasts going forward. It has trended down since mid last year and wondering if more patience is warranted. Thank you.

Q: Please comment on CPH latest earnings. It looks like a bit of a mixed bag. The stock is expensive, but they are throwing off a lot of FCF and their strategy looks solid going forward. Thank you.

Q: A bit of an earnings miss, but the future is looking promising. Your opinion going forward please.

Q: any comment on earnings should i switch to Well health or Vitalhub

Q: Going to do a little re-balancing and the result will be the addition of one new { possibly two depending on your answer } stocks to the portfolio ...... Between ISRG, CPH, GLXY, and MDA please rank from first choice to last giving each a numerical score between one and ten with ten being best . This will allow me to evaluate how much you like one better than the other ......Also a short blurb on each explaining why ......Thanks for your terrific service Garth ......

Q: Just finished reading both questions and your report on CPH ..... I don't see any resemblance between your report and the current company .... Could you give me the " Cole's Notes " review of the state of the current company ? What's positive in the pipeline ? What's negative ? I see the failure of the nail fungus drug initially dropped the stock $5 but it has recovered since. Does that mean the drug is not dead ? Thanks for your terrific service ..... { any plans to update that report ? }

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Would you still endorse a purchase of TMDX, CLBT, ASPN and CPH? When looking at the recent momentum of FLUT and DUOL would you still be buyers of these companies? What would be your order of preference if you were buying today?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: After its huge drop Friday, CPH is down another 8% today. It said the failure of the clinical trials for Moberg's nail fungus medicine wouldn't impact sales or revenue "today" but how much was the market counting on this for the future? Does its failure really justify a 20% cut to CPH stock or is this way overdone?

Q: Share this news no queston

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Sept. 13, 2024 /CNW/ - Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: CPH) (OTCQX: CPHRF) ("Cipher" or the "Company") announced today that its partner, Moberg Pharma AB ("Moberg"), issued a news release earlier today stating that it has received information about clinical cure in a subset of patients in the ongoing North American Phase 3 study for MOB-015, a product for the treatment of nail fungus. Moberg has noted that the number of patients who have achieved clinical cure in this blinded subset of patients is lower than its expectations, which necessitates that Moberg inform the market about this fact.

Moberg's full press release can be found here.

Cipher owns the Canadian marketing rights to Moberg's MOB-015 through a licensing agreement (the "Agreement") dated September 18, 2018, to commercialize, promote, sell and distribute the product exclusively in Canada. On signing the Agreement, the Company paid an upfront amount of US$0.5 million and any future additional payments of up to US$14.1 million are contingent upon successful achievement of certain clinical data results as well as development, regulatory and commercial sales milestones. Cipher has no further financial obligations in respect of the Agreement if the applicable development and regulatory milestones outlined in the Agreement are not attained.

The Company will continue to collaborate with its partner Moberg as full results from their clinical trial become available, however this pipeline product does not impact the sales and earnings profile of Cipher's existing business today.

The Company continues to be focused on its recent acquisition of the NatrobaTM business from ParaPRO LLC as announced on July 29, 2024, as well as other potential growth opportunities. The Company believes the growth potential for the NatrobaTM product in the U.S. market and other markets internationally is significant, and the integration of this business into its existing profitable North American platform remains Cipher's focus and priority in the near term.

Q: Hello 5i
Any news on the Cipher drop and trading halt?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hello ,
Are you able to provide a view as to why Cipher Pharma is doing so well stock wise and yet Knight is still in the doldrums? Also, is too late to step into Cipher Pharmaceuticals. I would appreciate your comments;

Q: Earnings out probably not as meaningful as aquation but was there anything in earnings comments that you could elaborate on

Q: Cipher Pharma made a major acquisition today that they say will double their sales and profits. The new products acquired are also superior to the existing treatment, which has 71% of the USA market, so lots of room there for growth, plus they plan to get approval in Canada and make a deal for ex-North America sales. They also have their drug for toenail fungus, a big market, set to produce final results in about 6 months, with sales expected starting in 2026. This looks like a good growth stock to me, trading at a cheap valuation, given the profit from the new products, and I am wondering what your take is on the acquisition and the stock.

Q: Would appreciate your analysis of CPH's Q1 results that were released last week.

Q: Could you please compare and contrast CPH and VHI? Looking for key differences or attributes. Is one better than the other, or if starting a new position, would you just allocate funds 50/50?

Q: Results yesterday from CPH and DR both looked excellent and the stock prices have moved up significantly in response. They both look cheap, particularly CPH, even more so if you ex out the $2.20 cash on the balance sheet. What do you think of these as part of a small cap portfolio?

Q: Now that CPH trades on the OTC should it be moved to a USD account to avoid Fx fees with transactions or will any trades continue to be designated as CAD. Thank you.
