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

Kiora Pharmaceuticals is a small biotech company focused on developing drugs to treat eye diseases. Its pipeline targets conditions like wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal disorders that can cause vision loss. The company's main customers would be patients and eye care specialists, and it operates in the competitive ophthalmology drug development space.

Kiora does not yet sell approved products, so it currently generates no meaningful revenue — it funds operations through equity raises and grants while spending on clinical trials. The company is based in the United States and, with a market cap near zero, is considered a micro-cap or nano-cap firm. Its main competitive challenge is proving its drug candidates work better or more conveniently than existing treatments, and the biggest risk is that clinical trials fail or funding runs out before any product reaches the market.
