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

This company holds roughly $79M 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

PMV Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biotech company focused on developing cancer drugs. Its main focus is a drug called PC14586, which is designed to target a mutated protein called p53 — a protein that is broken or missing in roughly half of all human cancers. The company's potential customers are cancer patients and the hospitals or oncologists who treat them.

PMV makes no product revenue yet because its drugs are still being tested in clinical trials. It is a small U.S.-based company with a market cap around $100 million, funded primarily by cash reserves rather than sales. The company's scientific edge comes from its focus on reactivating mutant p53, an area most drug developers have historically avoided because it was considered too difficult to target. The main risk is that PC14586 could fail in clinical trials, which would severely threaten the company's future since it has no other approved products generating income.
