To answer a question from the past, with today's example.......

It took took a little over 3 yrs, 2 mns to go from filing to patent......

https://www.freepatentsonline.com/12037618.html

Publication Date: 07/16/2024
Filing Date: 05/21/2021

Will give 20 years for the specific new claims in the new patent, following the long family of similar patents, which were posted earlier.........

"PH20 polypeptide variants, formulations and uses thereof "

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspectives.

As I reflect on this more, I'm thinking perhaps it has to do with the very high degree of institutional ownership. (See attached.) Apparently people like us, retail shareholders, hold only a tiny minority (0.8%) of outstanding shares. I'm guessing institutions take time to make investment decisions, do not act quickly or try to time the market. But that's just a guess.

Good luck to you.

Halo’s fundamentals and valuations are absolutely the envy of most. Its share price will continue to do well for the next several years.

Having said this, I am disappointed that Helen has still not delivered on 2 out of the 3 partnerships she guided for 2023. We are almost 7 months into 2024 and still nothing.

The second thing that is irritating is that they seem to be gearing up for an acquisition sooner than I had hoped for. I say this because of the new job posting for an executive director of M&A on halo’s website.

In my view, they need to get a few more Enhanze partnerships before they buy another company.

Agree both are interesting and worth skimming thru.......

Not sure where the obesity connection will go, but in these days of over consumption, anytime a drug is connected to "obesity," "an intervention" and "a novel therapeutic strategy," an investor needs to take notice.....

With the consortium connection, one would think there would be more info out there on upcoming HVAI deals by now...........

I would guess there are several reasons.

First of all, Halo is not a small-cap stock. Several other mid-cap and large biotechs didn’t participate (Asnd, Argx and others.)

Second, Halo is up 55% from six months ago and, for better or worse, is not the type of biotech that can make huge moves up or down overnight. It is a lower risk/lower reward stock than many other biotechs.

Third, the stock peaked around $50, $54 and then $59 in 2021 and 2022. In 2022, Halo sold convertible notes that have a conversion price of $56. Because of all of the above, the stock has a lot of resistance in this area.

Halo beats to its own drum. Institutions own most of it and traders play with it. Fundamentals are great and that drives the price. It’s going to go much higher sooner than later. Last time it made highs a few years ago the price dropped over 30 percent very quickly. This time it’s holding tight.

Does anyone have any theories as to why . . .

HALO did not participate in today's strong rally that drove the price of so many small caps upward?

According to the Wall Street Journal, today the Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks soared 3.6% in its best day since November. Some of my other small biotech stocks (I own half a dozen) jumped 5, 7, even 9%. Every darned holding in my brokerage list (roughly 14) was green EXCEPT for HALO, which was in the red, down slightly.

This defies logic, in my world. The company is becoming a cash cow. We've been held hostage, or so I thought, by the stubbornly high yield on the 10-year Treasury. But even when the 10-year yield dropped sharply today, the HALO price did not budge.

I'd be interested in what other shareholders on this board think might be the reason HALO did not participate in today's strong small-cap rally.

I also don't think it was a sector thing. There was quite a bit of churn yesterday, even today volume was a bit higher than average and Halo was weaker than the sector. It may just be that there is a lot of resistance in this area and the stock is consolidating. Also, I am sure some investors are skeptical that there will be more positive surprises or new deals soon. Time will tell.

Talking about full year 2024 PE.

If we end 2024 at the same PE we ended 2023, we will be in the $70-80 range, simply because the E (earnings) has gone up so much.

Here is the full 2023 and 2024 PE ratios:

Agree with this perspective, thanks for sharing.

When you talk about P/E, are you thinking trailing 12 months (TTM) or forward 12 months (FY)? As I'm sure you know, these can be very different numbers.

Unlikely that it was a sector thing.

1) XBI did not have a reversal in the second half of day like halo did

2) halo’s volume was unusually high

3) halo reached another 52 week high

Who knows what a single day of trading is all about. It’s the trend and fundamentals that matter.

I think it was a sector thing. Had similar moves in other biotech stocks. There was some indication of a likely Fed move to lower interest rates and that usually creates a nice bump in the space. Just a guess, though.

biotechinvestor1 biotechinvestor1 7 days ago
been in Halozyme since 2011. Back then, I bought once or twice a year as this was a speculative investment (PEGPH20) with the back up plan of Enhanze.

I started buying on a regular basis since they became profitable and the P/E ratio and Peg were/are super attractive.

In my retirement account I purchase halo 3 times a year. In my taxed account I buy on a weekly basis and more on the dips.

I am in a handful of other profitable, high profit margin, reasonable value stocks, but the rest of my portfolio is in index funds.

Valuations and fundamentals are like gravity. Mr. market can only defy them for a limited time. Halozyme is profitable and it’s profits are growing. The share prices will go up overtime no matter what. My strategy is simple. Buy and hold for as long as the PE ratio and the peg are below industry averages, and comps.

I don’t see myself selling until Peg is above 1.2 and PE ratio is above 27. We are far from both.

Thank you for this. Perhaps Dupixent should be looking at us for their AI. That should be an easy sell for HALO.

Don’t really know the biology of Dupixent but I have family that uses Dupixent and Methtrexate both using Auto Injectors. Halozyme produces the Methtrexate AI and it goes very smoothly. The Dupixent AI is very painful and hard to handle.

This looks very interesting: 3 Halozyme employees rubbing shoulders in a professional context for half a day with employees from Roche, Sanofi, Lilly, Merck, AZ, and Novartis. Roche is already a repeat customer of Halozyme's, while Sanofi, Lilly, Merck, AZ and Novartis are all prospective customers. With no sign of any Halozyme competitors present among the presenters. How can this not be a wonderful thing for Halozyme???

It was a joke. Roaring Kitty is the guy behind the runs in Gamestop, AMC, and other meme stocks.

Most of these “meme stocks” had large short interests. The shorts were squeezed (by masses of social media retail investors) and share price ran up.

Most meme stocks were not fundamentally sound businesses which is why their run up did not last long

Halo has the potential for a short squeeze and the beautiful fundamentals for long term performance.

I just noticed that the most currently reported short interest was up substantially. I guess that might be why the stock has struggled despite all the good news. But I can’t understand why there would be so much short selling when there has been nothing but good news. They might find out soon that that was not such a good move.

Great story. Thanks for sharing!

P.S. It seems like business journalists are finally starting to understand the new HALO business model:

Halozyme's business model is relatively simple. The company licenses its technology to Big Pharma and biotech companies and they use it to develop subcutaneous versions of their biggest IV drugs. In return, Halozyme receives a royalty on sales of those products.
