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

This company holds roughly $19M 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

CalciMedica is a small clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing drugs that treat serious inflammatory diseases. Its lead drug candidate, auxora, works by blocking a specific calcium channel in immune cells called CRAC channels, which can become overactive and cause dangerous inflammation. The company has been studying auxora primarily in patients with acute pancreatitis, a painful and potentially life-threatening condition with no approved treatments.

CalciMedica makes no product revenue yet because its drugs are still in clinical trials. It funds operations through equity raises and grants, which is typical for early-stage biotech companies. The company is based in the United States and is very small, with a market cap near zero, meaning it carries significant financial risk. Its main competitive advantage, if auxora succeeds, would be its novel CRAC channel-blocking mechanism, which is a relatively unexplored therapeutic approach. The biggest risk is clinical and financial — if trial results disappoint or funding runs out, the company could struggle to survive.
