Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $17M in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

BioLineRx is a small Israeli biotechnology company that develops drugs to treat cancer and other serious diseases. Its main approved product is Motixafortide (sold as Aphexda), which is used to help cancer patients collect stem cells before a bone marrow transplant. The company focuses on oncology, meaning treatments related to cancer, and partners with larger pharmaceutical companies to help sell its medicines.

BioLineRx makes money by selling Aphexda in the United States through a commercial partnership with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, earning revenue from product sales and potentially from licensing deals. The company is headquartered in Israel but generates most of its commercial revenue in the U.S. market. It is a very small company with a market cap near zero, and it spends far more money than it earns, which is reflected in its deeply negative operating margin. The key risk is whether Aphexda can gain enough market adoption to generate sufficient revenue before the company needs to raise additional cash.

Revenue accelerating
