Hi John ... thanx for the reply. It seems we view "fundamentals" from different perspectives ! I’m certainly not well informed on the fundamental properties of silk, elastin and the pPti of polymers.
For those who are, or soon will be, invested in PPTI, let’s hope that their product sales will vastly improve the current state of that company’s financials.
I belong to that school who prefer to first see EVIDENCE that a company is increasing Revenue, has debt well under control, is reporting increasing Bottom Line profit and preferably rewarding their shareholders with a healthy Dividend.
In the world of competitive Capitalism, be it Biotech or elsewhere, who can say whether or not a particular company will, sometime in the future, not be overcome by another company with superior and more sought after products or by superior management, marketing campaigns, etc.. etc.. At the present time, PPTI’s financial fundamentals, IMO, give no indication that they are well ahead of the competition.
In my humble opinion, the only time we will know for sure how successful are a company’s products and management abilities, will be when we see that success portrayed in the Financial Statements of said company. Rest assured, I, for one, will seriously consider buying PPTI’s stock should their financial fundamentals indicate that they are more than worthy of purchase. Until that happens, from a stock investment standpoint, one is crystal ball gazing and involved in the realm of speculation.
Let’s hope that your contention ... "but I think the company's fundamentals will make the rise happen", comes to pass !
