While not wishing to harp on endlessly about the same stock, I want to draw Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AGN:CSE; AGNPF:OTCQB; AGN0:XFRA) to your attention once again this morning because of two items of good news out of the company today.
This update also provides the opportunity to make clear how cheap the stock is historically by including a five-year chart.
The first item of good news is that the company has announced the successful closing of its financing, which was oversubscribed.
This will lift a restraint on the stock price.
The second piece of news is that Algernon’s largest shareholder has upped its stake significantly so that it now owns over 13% of the stock, which is, of course, a vote of confidence.
The five-year log chart below enables us to see how cheap Algernon is historically (it has been adjusted for a one for 100 reverse split about a year ago) and how it is still close to what is regarded as a cyclical low.
The price looks like it has just double bottomed with its lows late last year.
With regards to its upside potential from here, a key point to hold in mind is that there are less than 2 million shares in issue.
Given the company’s rapidly improving fundamentals and mounting investor interest, it isn’t hard to see how it could spike dramatically from this area — recall how it tripled in price in just two weeks back last January, a rally that we rode.
So the case for buying Algernon here could scarcely be stronger, and it is therefore considered to be in order to add to positions or make fresh purchases, and this is definitely a stock that is worth going overweight on.
