With just US$1,313,000 worth of revenue in twelve months, we don’t think the market considers iBio to have proven its business plan. So it seems shareholders are too busy dreaming about the progress to come than dwelling on the current (lack of) revenue. For example, they may be hoping that iBio comes up with a great new product, before it runs out of money.
As a general rule, if a company doesn’t have much revenue, and it loses money, then it is a high risk investment. There is almost always a chance they will need to raise more capital, and their progress – and share price – will dictate how dilutive that is to current holders. While some such companies go on to make revenue, profits, and generate value, others get hyped up by hopeful naifs before eventually going bankrupt. Some iBio investors have already had a taste of the sweet taste stocks like this can leave in the mouth, as they gain popularity and attract speculative capital.
iBio had liabilities exceeding cash by US$28.2m when it last reported in March 2020, according to our data. That puts it in the highest risk category, according to our analysis. So the fact that the stock is up 70% in the last year shows that high risks can lead to high rewards, sometimes. Investors must really like its potential.
