Deep Value: cash covers about 94% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $11M in cash and investments — about 94% of 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

Quoin Pharmaceuticals is a small clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for rare and serious skin diseases. Its lead candidates target conditions like Netherton Syndrome and other disorders that have few or no approved therapies. The company's main customers would be patients and healthcare providers dealing with these rare, hard-to-treat conditions.

Quoin does not yet generate meaningful revenue, as its drug candidates are still moving through clinical trials and have not received regulatory approval. The company is based in Israel with operations in the United States, and it relies on raising capital through stock offerings to fund its research and development. Its potential competitive advantage lies in targeting rare diseases with limited treatment options, but the primary risk is that clinical trials may fail or take much longer than expected, which could exhaust its limited cash reserves before any product reaches the market.

Cash watch

Quoin Pharmaceuticals has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.
