BCHE was supposed to start raking in the $ from the new drug the last Qtr. Instead, only $800K or so was generated. Some analysts had the numbers as high as $10M. Well, to save face they slammed the stock and its been floating around since than.
This Q, the numbers came in at >$10M. Great! Mnge stated after last Q that they would have revenue of $70M this year from the Hep-B drug. Looks like the numbers are picking up.
