Context Therapeutics: Undervalued Cancer Fighter

 

• Portfolio of three novel immunological therapies based on bispecific T-cell engager technology, each with differentiating performance against multiple cancers

• Enrollment initiated in first half 2025 for Phase I clinical trials for each of two therapies targeting several cancer types

• Sufficient cash resources to support work through initial data milestones from Phase I clinical trials as early as the first half 2026

• Targeted patient populations offer significant revenue opportunities that could yield strong returns on investment if regulatory approvals are achieved

• Strategic flexibility to embrace either unilateral development of each therapeutic candidate or collaboration with other sector players

• Potential valuation triggers as clinical trials produce first data points on safety and efficacy within the next few months

 

Context Therapeutics (CNTX:  NasdaqCM)  is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing treatments for solid cancerous tumors using novel Bispecific T-cell engaging (BS-TCE or B-TCE or BiTE) technologies.  Considerable work has been undertaken in the BS-TCE arena, providing some confidence Context’s development work is properly focused. 

The Company has used both acquisition and in-licensing to build a portfolio of three therapeutic properties, two of which have received approval by U.S. Federal Drug Administration to begin testing with human patients.  An $89 million cash kitty and access to estimated $60 million in new capital through an at-market common stock purchase agreement are providing adequate resources to achieve important milestones in the Company’s first clinical trials.

Market capitalization for CNTX is currently about two-thirds of book value despite strong fundamental progress toward proving the merits of its therapeutic candidates.  The stock is also registering as oversold based on commonly used technical signals.  We expect news on clinical trial milestones within the few twelve months.  Favorable results could jumpstart sentiment, tripling or quadrupling the stock price from the current depressed level.

Accordingly, we believe it is timely to take a long position in CNTX.  Of course, even risk-tolerant investors should undertake some due diligence.  We offer a few comments here on Context’s portfolio of therapies and the strength of the Company’s financial resources.  We also make some suggestions on additional research for both newcomers to the world of immunology as well as seasoned sector investors.

 

EFSH: Value Triggers in Acquisition Strategy

 Successful divestiture of non-performing assets 

 Monetization of operations at premium valuation metric 

 New capital through both public and private equity offerings

 Acquisition of strategic operation at deep value 

 Anticipated shift to net profitability in current year

Unique as a public manager of an acquisition portfolio, 1847 Holdings (EFSH:  NYSE) is building a collection of strategic operations.  We were first introduced to the Company in November 2024, when leadership had just announced an agreement to acquire CMD, Inc., a cabinetry, millwork and door manufacturer, at a compelling purchase price.  Growing and profitable, the cabinet maker showed promise to revamp the Company’s financial profile.  

Recently, we checked in with the 1847 team to catch up on the Company’s progress over the last four months since we first concluded the stock was trading at a deep discount to its portfolio.  Besides closing on the CMD acquisition, management has taken other actions lend to the Company’s worth.  Fundamental developments held up against the current price in the mid-teens, the stock still appears remarkably undervalued.  Investors looking for a bargain would do well to review the most recent advances.

Happy New Year!

 

Resolution for Peace in the New Year

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console,

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.
