In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, Greenlight Capital highlighted a few stocks and Neubase Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:NBSE) is one of them. Neubase Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:NBSE) develops its modular peptide-nucleic acid antisense oligonucleotide platform to address genetic diseases. In the last three months, Neubase Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:NBSE) stock lost 0.1% and on January 21st it had a closing price of $8.65. Here is what Greenlight Capital said:
“One already-public investment that we have never discussed is NeuBase Therapeutics (NBSE), which we invested in a couple years ago at an average price of $3.96. The combination of the frothy environment for companies with large addressable markets and NBSE’s own pre-clinical progress leaves us surprised that NBSE hasn’t yet joined the “story stock” party. NBSE is a “platform” company with a technology called PATrOL, which develops highly targeted therapies that increase, decrease or change the protein function of genes. By addressing all of the causal mechanisms underlying rare and common diseases – including cancer – PATrOL consolidates the capabilities of highly-valued gene silencing, gene editing and gene replacement companies in a single unified platform. NBSE’s emerging therapies also feature the best precision in engaging misbehaving genes of any technology, which is critical to eliminating “off-target” engagement with healthy genes elsewhere in the genome and to ensuring well-tolerated medicines. The company’s laboratory successes over the last couple years suggest that PATrOL could be a breakthrough technology that addresses many types of diseases. Like DNMR, the addressable market is immense. While there is a long path from here to products on the market, NBSE’s current market capitalization of less than $200 million prices in little chance of success. We think the risk-reward is asymmetrical. NBSE ended the year at $6.99.”
