MissionIRNewsBreaks – Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) Looks to AI to Improve Clinical Decision Making for Ovarian Cancer Patients

 Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Helomics, has sought to end the alarming statistics surrounding ovarian cancer. According to figures provided by the American Cancer Society and quoted by an article discussing POAI’s motivations and operations, “an estimated 21,750 women received a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer this year (2020), and almost 14,000 women will die from the disease. Those numbers make ovarian cancer the fifth-leading cause of cancer deaths in women.” In a bid to change this reality, Predictive Oncology, a company that focuses on using data and artificial intelligence to develop personalized cancer therapies, has partnered with the University of Pittsburg School of Medicine, through Helomics, “to study the use of artificial intelligence (‘AI’) to improve clinical decision making for ovarian cancer patients. The collaboration entails using Helomics’ AI platform and proprietary data to analyze the genomic and drug response profiles of women with ovarian cancer to evaluate predictive values in terms of response and non-response to different treatments… Helomics’ predictive models will save time and money in the search for new targeted therapies.”

PlantX Life stated that its January numbers surpassed its December 2020 gross revenues of $1,029,883, which were achieved during a highly dynamic holiday season. “This was surpassed by January 2021’s revenue, which exceeded management’s expectations given that e-commerce sales were expected to be slower following the holiday season,” the announcement noted. “This success during one of the slowest e-commerce periods of the year highlights the tremendous impact the company continues to have in the plant-based marketplace.” The announcement stated that the company’s growth reflects its commitment to meet consumer demand and continues to be driven by its innovative partnerships as well as its marketing and branding efforts.

For example, the company offers 20 unique pre-made meals designed by top chefs and nutritionists.

Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) Receives ‘Buy’ Rating from Litchfield Hills Research in First Analyst Coverage Report

 

  • Calling POAI undervalued, Litchfield initiates coverage of Predictive Oncology with Buy rating, $3 price target
  • The drug industry is changing as tools and technology to tailor drugs emerge, regulatory bodies focus on patients’ experiences, perspectives, needs
  • Litchfield report notes several POAI strengths under “Investment Thesis” section

A growing number of companies and health providers alike are paying attention to what the FDA is calling patient-focused drug development (“PFDD”), a systematic approach to help ensure that patients’ experiences, perspectives, needs and priorities are captured and meaningfully incorporated into drug development and evaluation. In that growing market, Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to personalized medicine and drug discovery, has been given a “Buy” rating by equity research firm Litchfield Hills Research LLC, which uses a three-tiered (buy-hold-sell) rating system (https://ibn.fm/lMp50).

“If you have ever had a medical condition that had to be treated with medication that had complex dosing requirements or complex directions for taking the medication, or side effects that made you stop, the drug industry is now paying attention,” noted Litchfield’s first analyst coverage report on Predictive Oncology. “Development of drugs to treat diseases was never tailored to any one individual because the tools to do that weren’t available, so development was generally not optimized for individual patient outcomes in terms of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (‘API’), side effects, getting the most out of the least amount of API (bioavailability), and medication regimen complexity and adherence.

“However, that is changing, especially as tools and technology to tailor drugs emerge, and the regulatory bodies, like the FDA, are focused on patient’s experiences, perspectives and needs,” the Litchfield report continued. “As experts in what it is like to live with their condition, patients are uniquely positioned to inform the understanding of the therapeutic context for drug development and evaluation.”

The report notes several of POAI’s strengths under its “Investment Thesis” section, including that the company is “advancing state-of-the-art patient-centric drug development systems, which is the leading edge of current drug development, as the industry tries to reduce the time needed for commercial drug development.” Other strengths include that the company operates four subsidiaries, that its commercial business provides a stable revenue stream, and that the company has a strong balance sheet, having just completed a capital raise. In addition, the report notes that POAI has an “exceptional management team. The company has assembled an experienced management team for each of its pre-commercial subsidiaries to advance them towards commercialization.”

Calling POAI undervalued, Litchfield pronounced the following: “We are initiating coverage of Predictive Oncology Inc. with a Buy rating and a $3.00 price target. Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) is a commercial stage biotech firm tackling cancer, assisting in vaccine development and solving medical waste issues.”

Litchfield Hills Research adheres to FINRA standards for quality and objectivity. The Litchfield Hills Research Department certifies its report is compliant with FINRA research rules 2241, 3110; that Litchfield is registered with FINRA; and that the report has been reviewed by a supervisory senior analyst. Litchfield’s price target, financial models, peer comparisons and investment thesis are developed without input from management of the company, and it performs its own due diligence. 

POAI is bringing precision medicine, or tailored medical treatment using the individual characteristics of each patient, to the treatment of cancer. Through its Helomics division, the company leverages its unique, clinically validated patient derived (“PDx”) smart tumor profiling platform to provide oncologists with a roadmap to help individualize therapy. In addition, the company is leveraging artificial intelligence and its proprietary database of over 150,000 cancer cases tumors to build AI-driven models of tumor drug response to improve outcomes for the patients of today and tomorrow.

Online Sales Products Platform Mohawk Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MWK) Sees Outlook Rise as Result of Pandemic Trends

 

  • The COVID-19 pandemic is a year old, having devastated a number of markets since its discovery and spread were first reported in China
  • While many industries have suffered worldwide during the year, the distancing requirements instituted in response to the pandemic have led buyers to turn to online retail outlets for many products
  • Consumer products marketer Mohawk Group Holdings has been ideally situated to take advantage of the 44 percent growth in online commerce spending during 2020 and beyond
  • Mohawk’s stock took an initial beating with the outbreak of the pandemic, but has since rebounded and rose more than 400 percent during the past three months alone
  • The company’s holdings saw sales grow from $88.8 million to $144.2 million during the first nine months of 2020

Consumer products platform Mohawk Group Holdings (NASDAQ: MWK)  is riding a wave of optimism as an online retail marketer benefitting from the spike in remote access purchasing during the year-old COVID-19 pandemic.

Mohawk principally leverages its proprietary technology as a third-party seller on Amazon, and grew sales revenue from $88.8 million to $144.2 million during the first nine months of 2020 reported in its most recent quarterly filing (https://ibn.fm/TyCKQ).

An outside market opinion writer published this month in media outlet The Motley Fool noted that the company’s shares took a huge dive when the pandemic provoked strict commerce-limiting measures throughout the United States last year, but has also sharply rebounded.

“Yes, the stock is up over 400% in the past three months, but it is still early innings for this tech-enabled CPG (consumer packaged goods) conglomerate, so don’t fool yourself into thinking you’ve missed the boat with this business,” the opinion writer, Brett Schafer, states (https://ibn.fm/yV8Jc).

Schafer cited a Digital Commerce 360 report stating that e-commerce has experienced tremendous growth during the past year, with online shopping forming more than 20 percent of retail spending in the United States during 2020. The $861 billion spent online was a 44 percent increase over the previous year.

Amazon captured nearly a third of the online market share, with sales growth of 54 percent during the final quarter of the year. Mohawk’s position as a third-party Amazon seller allows it to ride the commerce giant’s coattails.

The company’s Artificial Intelligence Mohawk E-commerce Engine (“AIMEE”) helps it identify market opportunities then design, develop and launch products from its stable of 12 brands in categories including kitchenware and home appliances, environmental appliances, beauty products and consumer electronics.

Mohawk also sells its AIMEE software to other online sellers, granting the company revenue with high margins and a huge market opportunity. The company has offices in the United States, Canada, China and the Philippines and takes advantage of its global footprint to move its products around the clock.

The platform’s Fulfillment Engine helps to guide inventory location, cost optimization and use of third-party networks to cut shipping times.

When Mohawk announced the acquisition of online essential oils seller Healing Solutions, LLC in early February, the company reported it expects the acquisition to help boost its net revenues for 2021 to a range between $340 million to $370 million, with net income for the year estimated to reach between $1 million and $5 million primarily in response to quarterly interest expense, net and stock-based compensation expense.

Mohawk forecasts its adjusted EBITDA will be between $28 million and $32 million.
