Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $4M in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

CollPlant Biotechnologies is an Israeli biotech company that grows human collagen inside tobacco plants using genetic engineering. This collagen is used to make medical products like skin grafts for wound healing and materials for reconstructive surgery, with customers including hospitals, medical device companies, and pharmaceutical partners. The company is one of the few in the world producing plant-based recombinant human collagen at a commercial scale.

CollPlant earns revenue through licensing deals, research collaborations, and product sales — though it currently spends far more than it earns, as its financial margins show deep losses. It operates primarily out of Israel and has partnerships with larger companies in the United States and Europe to help develop and commercialize its technology. The key growth driver is expanding its collagen into higher-value markets like 3D-bioprinted breast implants and regenerative medicine, but the main risk is that the company burns through cash quickly and depends heavily on securing new partnerships or funding to survive.

Cash watch

CollPlant Biotechnologies has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
