Equity

Shares of Purple Biotech closed down 3.4% on Monday and extended losses in after-hours trading as the company's latest financial results failed to impress the broader market, though retail traders showed some optimism.The company reported a net loss of $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, significantly narrowing from the $4.9 million loss in the same period a year earlier, primarily due to lower research and development (R&amp;D) expenses.&nbsp;Loss per American depository share (ADS) was $0.20 (basic) and $0.26 (diluted), compared to $3.80 per ADS in Q4 2023, and better than LSEG's mean analyst estimate of a loss of $1.80.CEO Gil Efron highlighted key 2024 milestones, including successful trials for its clinical-stage programs for its cancer therapy candidates <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ppbt-stock-surges-on-cancer-drug-cm24-results/cJ9kF29Rh2">CM24</a> and NT219 and advancements in its CAPTN-3 tri-specific platform.&nbsp;The randomized Phase 2 trial for CM24 in second-line pancreatic cancer met all efficacy endpoints, and biomarker data informed a planned Phase 2b study for the second half of 2025.&nbsp;Meanwhile, NT219's dose escalation study determined a recommended Phase 2 dose, enabling a head and neck cancer trial in collaboration with the University of Colorado, expected to begin enrollment in early 2025.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits ended on a bullish note on Monday, but the score was slightly lower than a day ago.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1316/302;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/PPBT_sentiment_and_message_volume_as_of_March_10_03a40ad961.png" alt="PPBT sentiment and message volume as of March 10.png" width="1316" height="302"><figcaption>PPBT sentiment and message volume as of March 10. | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Some traders pointed to Purple Biotech's cash runway as a positive factor and speculated that institutional investors may disclose their positions in upcoming 13-F filings, given the strong stock-buying volume observed this year.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Smittysixty/message/607496322</stembedurl>However, skepticism also lingered.
