How to read this page
Buy
A buy call I published — Core = higher conviction.
Spec buy
A speculative buy — higher risk, smaller-size idea.
Avoid
A call to stay away — scored by the loss it sidestepped.
Entry
The stock's closing price the day I published the call.
Now
The latest available closing price.
Return
Percent change from Entry to Now (for avoids, the stock's move since the call).
vs XBI
XBI is the biotech index ETF. This is Return minus XBI's return over the same dates — the value added beyond just buying the index. For avoids, the loss saved vs holding XBI.
Open / Closed
Open = still live. Closed = realized; I flipped the call, calculated return based on that date.

On my watch list

  • Profitable specialty pharma with strong Recorlev growth, but method-of-use patents face simultaneous four-filer Paragraph IV assault and a 2028–2029 debt refinancing wall make the 2040 durability the multiple requires too uncertain to buy ahead of ANDA clarity.

  • Stargardt science is de-risked and balance sheet is a fortress, but at ~$6B near all-time highs the stock already prices in approval plus GA success, with two key questions (vision benefit and PHOENIX readout) still unresolved.

  • Legible voucher optionality (~3x market cap) and a real 2H-2026 UK filing catalyst keep the stock on the radar, but a failed cognitive primary, a single small cell-therapy trial facing CMC scrutiny, and a going-concern balance sheet with a float-doubling ATM keep the author on the sidelines until a financing clears the going-concern flag and MHRA accepts/approves the CORDStrom MAA.

  • Real approved franchise and elite smart-money ownership offset by active going-concern qualification and VS-7375 racing a Phase-3-validated competitor; watch until balance-sheet fix and confirmed US RECIST data land.

  • ARCUS has first-ever human evidence of cccDNA elimination but the cure thesis is unproven, NUC withdrawal has not begun, bepirovirsen is an approvable competitor, and the balance sheet depends on ATM dilution — wait for off-therapy control data before entering.

  • Ambiguous Type A minutes triggered an immediate clarification request and a new Type D meeting (end of Q3 2026), pushing the resubmission timeline into 2027 while the bounded-downside, event-driven thesis remains intact.

    Latest note · Jul 15, 2026 ↗ · watching since Dec 17, 2025
  • Science is de-risked and valuation is below net cash, but commercial adoption is unproven with ~$1.7M quarterly revenue against ~$45M SG&A; waiting for prescription curve inflection before opening a position.

  • Management's 138-month FDA-contingent lease signals internal approval confidence, but the injunction, AdCom, and PDUFA trinary remain unresolved and upgrade triggers are still unmet.

    Latest note · Jul 14, 2026 ↗ · watching since Jun 19, 2026
  • GERN Geron Watch

    Validated telomerase franchise with real revenue and a near-term MF survival readout, but a disappointing launch, leveraged balance sheet, and valuation already pricing the option keep it off the buy list until IMpactMF reads out.

  • Zanidatamab franchise and Aug 25 PDUFA are near-money-good, but the royalty-aggregation model is unproven, the balance sheet is heavily leveraged, and one fund controls the company — wait for the milestone to land and recurring royalties to ramp before initiating.

  • Fidelity's 14.9% stake alongside T. Rowe's 17.2% is a modestly constructive ownership signal, but does not change the science, valuation math, or coin-flip nature of the August LEVEL binary.

    Latest note · Jul 8, 2026 ↗ · watching since Jul 2, 2026
  • Foghorn offers elite science and a Lilly partnership but has zero disclosed human efficacy, no catalyst date, and a single clinical asset it neither controls nor discloses — worth watching for the first FHD-909 efficacy signal before owning.

  • PMN310 has coherent science and an elite institutional syndicate but zero human efficacy data, with a rival oligomer-selective antibody (sabirnetug) reading out first; the risk/reward favors waiting for the late-2026 sabirnetug topline before committing capital.

  • Science and safety differentiation are real and balance sheet is funded through the binary, but Phase 3 endpoint is non-inferiority against a commoditizing molecule, sickest-cohort BCVA drift is a live risk against a 4-letter margin, and Lilly- and AbbVie-backed rivals read out the same window after the stock has already tripled.

  • ARDX Ardelyx Watch

    The $50M debt draw extends the runway to 2030 without dilution, strengthening the balance sheet, but the 2033 patent cliff and XPHOZAH bundle impairment are unchanged, keeping the Watch List stance intact.

  • Financing is de-risked through both Phase 2 readouts, but the entire incremental thesis rests on the unproven BAFF arm, compounded by governance/SPAC overhang, a Lilly buyback ceiling, and a stock already up 200-360% off lows — no clear edge in owning before Q4 2026 HS data.

  • ABATE failed to deliver a plaque-clearance signal and management pivoted to a new adjuvant, shifting thesis weight entirely onto the H2 2026 VacSYn PD vaccine readout; Watch List maintained as new capital pre-VacSYn is harder to justify.

  • XNCR Xencor Watch

    Xencor trades near cash value with diversified platform optionality, but lacks a de-risked near-term catalyst, has its largest royalty stream in active dispute with Alexion, and all wholly-owned programs face crowded, competitive markets.

  • OLC is a legitimate reformulation with a genuine binary approval event, but buying common four days before a manufacturing-driven PDUFA at a 52-week high with heavy dilution, active ATM, live litigation, and an unresolved CMS TDAPA thesis represents poor risk/reward; revisit after the June 29 decision and CMS clarity.

  • First-mover orphan asset with a reauthorized $100M+ PRV voucher is asymmetric but un-ownable until the POC 1 controlled-data unblinding and Phase 3 financing both clear, given explicit going-concern doubt, a 4.5x warrant overhang, and zero read-out placebo-controlled efficacy.

  • A credible orphan target and below-cash balance sheet keep it off the PASS pile, but a distressed-seller re-skin with no human ADPKD efficacy entering Phase 2 behind Novartis, Vertex, and AbbVie warrants waiting for the 2H 2027 htTKV readout to prove the mechanism.

  • NDV-01 has de-risked biology and a genuine office-based delivery advantage over approved INLEXZO, but pivotal-population data does not yet exist and the team's late-stage track record is poor; the year-end 2026 Cohort 2A readout is the gate to a potential upgrade.

  • High asset quality with positive Phase 3 and NDA filed, but rich ~$1.8B EV after a +200% run, low-teen BMS royalty drag, 80% dose-reduction safety profile, EcoR1 trimming, and second-mover launch against Merck KGaA incumbent warrant waiting for a better entry or launch traction evidence.

  • Interesting biology and a freshly-funded balance sheet, but the lead asset's human efficacy is a three-patient biopsy story on an unvalidated surrogate, the readthrough mechanism class is under FDA/EMA cloud, and the only meaningful catalyst is ~12 months away after a 230% relisting squeeze.

  • PKU IND clearance is a thesis-tracking checkpoint, not a re-rating event; the binding constraint remains LNP hepatotoxicity in BEAM-302's multi-dose cohort, which must be resolved before deploying capital.

  • Genuine clinical signal and elite shareholder register, but ultra-orphan commercial math, N=6/N=1 datasets, pending composition-of-matter IP on the lead asset, and a warrant-and-debt-heavy balance sheet leave risk/reward balanced after a 7x run — wait for the September 2026 BEST1 Cohort 1 readout before paying ~$5.

  • Differentiated off-the-shelf iNKT biology and a cleanly randomized ARDS readout in a no-approved-therapy market make it worth watching, but going-concern balance sheet, Agenus control, absent lead-asset composition-of-matter IP, and lack of specialist smart money keep it off a Buy until H2 2026 data de-risks the platform.

  • Elite selective FGFR3 chemistry with a fortress balance sheet and blue-chip backing, but fast-follower in ACH, J&J-dominated NMIBC, IC50-not-IC90 dosing, and zero Phase 2 efficacy in hand; revisit after August IR NMIBC readout.

  • De-risked BLA-stage orphan asset but second-mover commercial disadvantage, China CMO tail risk, stacked royalties, and binary SLE readout on a post-hoc subgroup keep it on the watch list until BLA acceptance and SunStone clarity.

  • The 99.4% approval of the 240M authorized share charter amendment gives management full legal authority to dilute through binary catalysts, and the stock's 12.4% decline confirms the market is pricing in the dilution skew.

  • APEX fully enrolled with baseline PVR matching CADENCE exactly, crystallizing the binary readout to early Q1 2027, but the thesis is unchanged — relaxin graveyard and CADENCE 6MWD miss remain the bear case; no new reason to enter ahead of the coin-flip.

    Latest note · Jun 10, 2026 ↗ · watching since Jun 9, 2026
  • Differentiated rapid-onset IL-4Rα mechanism with genuine acute-exacerbation white space, but the entire equity hinges on one funded-but-binary mid-2026 Seabreeze readout against subgroup-heavy data and a China-structure/Phase-3-dilution overhang.

  • First-in-class Treg biology and fortress balance sheet are real, but middling efficacy, a post-hoc-rescued AA primary, and a competitor a full development cycle ahead in AD do not justify chasing a 570% move at current levels.

  • Post-flagship-failure name with substantial net cash and regulatory tailwinds on two remaining binary assets, but datasets are too thin and management credibility too damaged to justify opening a position now.

  • Near-cash EV with partnered Phase 3 royalty and Gilead option provides cushion, but the owned binary (COM701 monotherapy maintenance) rests on a post-hoc subgroup and thin single-agent data in a distrusted checkpoint class, warranting a watch rather than an immediate buy.

  • SubQ Phase 3 odds improved after positive Phase 1 PK/PD/safety data, but at $40.11 the stock is back in the upper half of its range and the accumulation-on-pullbacks logic still applies; the real re-rating catalyst is the YE2026/early-2027 Phase 3 topline.

  • Genuinely de-risked small cap with elite balance sheet, real global Phase 3, Breakthrough designation, and live takeout optionality, but efficacy thesis remains single-arm and open-label with a better-funded competitor ahead.

  • PEPG PepGen Watch

    Despite differentiated PPMO chemistry and a $12B M&A precedent, the 5 mg/kg MAD efficacy miss, unresolved FDA partial clinical hold, kidney safety signal, loaded $400M shelf, and late competitive position warrant watching rather than buying ahead of the 2H 2026 binary readout.

  • IMUX Immunic Watch

    Strong smart-money signal and credible binary catalyst are offset by a Phase 2 PMS primary miss, generic Aubagio as pricing floor, fenebrutinib positive Phase 3 in both indications, and heavy warrant plus royalty overhang; wait for ENSURE readouts before committing capital.

  • NKTX Nkarta Watch

    Differentiated outpatient CAR-NK thesis with credible biology and cash runway into 2028+, but zero autoimmune efficacy data and a stacked autologous CAR-T competitor field require seeing real H2 2026 data before sizing up.

  • Differentiated CD19 CAR T with real revenue and multiple H2 2026 catalysts, but a stacked royalty burden and near-certain 2027 dilution event prevent a clean buy recommendation.

  • The mid-2026 casdozokitug Phase 2 randomized readout is a 50/50 binary; the author recommends waiting for data rather than committing capital pre-readout, despite asymmetric upside potential.

  • REGAL is at 78/80 events with readout weeks away, financing risk is fully resolved at ~$114.6M cash, and the binary setup is unchanged — hold into the imminent data with position sizing as the key variable.

  • ORR drifted down to 44% confirmed as denominator grew and dilution is now a mathematical certainty, but NEJM validation and durable responses keep the science thesis intact — wait for the inevitable raise to clear before entering.

    Latest note · May 12, 2026 ↗ · watching since Feb 16, 2026
  • Science and capital runway are solid but position initiation should wait for CMC/PPQ batch manufacturing confirmation before the Q4 2026 BLA submission.

  • Going-concern disclosure signals an imminent dilutive raise before the September DAYBREAK readout; science remains intact but risk/reward is no longer asymmetric at current levels, and any remaining position should be sized as a binary bet.

  • ANNX Annexon Watch

    ATM already tapped and upsized to $150M, GBS FDA pushback more explicit, and ARCHER II narrowed to Q4 2026; dilution risk is now empirical and the cleanest entry remains a pullback after FORWARD data clarifies the GBS path.

  • De-risking signals (Shih settlement, EAP launch, clean balance sheet) are building ahead of the Q3 2026 LUCIDITY readout, but the binary still dominates and the watch-list stance is unchanged.

    Latest note · May 8, 2026 ↗ · watching since Mar 11, 2026
  • Science is compelling and bankruptcy risk is removed, but the complex warrant-heavy capital structure creates a structural price ceiling and execution risk warrants patience before taking a position.

  • GTX-102 lower-limb-weakness safety risk meaningfully reduced by 3-year clean LTE data, but Bedford CMC risk unchanged and cash runway tightened; wait for August 23 DTX401 PDUFA before entering.

    Latest note · May 6, 2026 ↗ · watching since Feb 9, 2026
  • FDA Fast Track for BBO-11818, a strategic C-suite reshuffle signaling M&A/pivotal trial positioning, and supportive AACR preclinical data modestly strengthen the thesis, but the clinical n remains too small to change the watch stance ahead of 2H 2026 data.
