Thanks for posting the list! I wonder if it would be useful to check for the ages of the CEOs of the biotechs selling below cash.
I’m assuming that the cash rich biotechs are pipeline poor. Also that an elderly CEO would be motivated to retire on a “high” (or at least “higher”) note rather than just slowly burn away the company cash (or get pushed out by disgruntled investors). So, prior to retiring, they would actively either:
1) Seek to sell the company at a premium, even if only at its cash value.
2) Seek to merge with another biotech that’s cash poor but pipeline rich.
I know I’m not the first to think of CEO age as important but have never seen a study as it relates to cash rich biotechs. The subject pool does appear large enough for such a study to make sense.
Peace & good health,
Bulba

@buysidebio posted this on Twitter recently:

"Biotech & Pharma names with <2 years of cash that have not raised in 2019. Estimates may be slightly off. Market cap >80M. 115 companies in total."

2 years of cash left

Maybe companies common to your list and buysidebio's are worth a closer look:

ABUS, ACRS, APTX, FBIO, FPRX, IFRX, MNLO, MRNS, NTEC and VSTM
