“In our investor letter last July, Old West partner Chad Cook gave a bullish presentation of Fulgent Genetics (FLGT). We first purchased FLGT at $4 per share. At the time of the letter it was trading at $20 and it finished the year at $55. This Southern California based company is one of the fastest growers in the field of genetic testing, but their quick and nimble move into Covid testing has seen the company grow at 300% year over year.”
