On the stock market since 2015, it operates in the world of health and science. It has 712 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
Average growth of 134% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. This is the most critical line in the whole picture.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit indicators sit around the sector average.
Clearly below the class average.
The price isn’t cheap next to earnings — that’s why this grade sits in the middle.
Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
The stock has been running stronger than the market lately.
Financial Strength: The cash-and-debt balance is thin; the buffer for hard times is slim.
The stock trades near its peak today. For long-term holders the ride has paid off so far — though past performance guarantees nothing about the future.
Over the last 3 years, sales grew about 134% a year on average.
The company sells $638.5M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
There is $322.9M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $81.6M would remain.
A loss of $183.2M against $638.5M in annual sales.
At the current pace of spending, the cash lasts about 1.8 years. After that, the company needs to find new money.
On our five-subject report card, AXSM sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: AXSM has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
