What to look at in Biotech
Most small biotechs lose money. Analysing them with P/E makes no sense — look at cash and pipeline.
- Cash Runway — Months of cash at current burn rate. <18 months = urgent dilution risk
- Annual cash burn — Rate at which they burn operating cash. Compare with cash position to project runway
- Total Debt — Biotech with no revenue + debt = recipe for bankruptcy
- R&D / Market cap — How much they invest in pipeline vs the company value — research-intensity indicator
- Market cap / Cash — If it trades near its cash, the market assigns ~0 value to the pipeline — opportunity or trap
