Genedrive PLC (LON: GDR) focuses on developing diagnostic tools for diseases and drug testing. Its Diagnostics segment is responsible for commercializing the Genedrive Point of Need molecular testing platform. The GDR stock has a market capitalisation of £12.7M.

Fundamental Performance of Genedrive

Genedrive’s last annual report shows that the company has faced a decline of 92% YoY in its revenue, The company has gained a revenue of just £49K, which is a 79.2% decline from 2019’s revenue of £2.3M. 

Along with that, one of the major shortcomings is the net income negative of -£4.67M. It has made other profitability ratios such as Earnings per share and Return on equity negative. While the company is low on debt with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.09%, it is not going to cover the shallow revenues.

Multibagger or Mirage

Considering the firm is a small-cap company, it is acceptable that the net profits could be negative due to high reinvestment in the start-up phase. However, it is done with the intention of increasing revenue. In Generdrive PLC’s case, the revenue is declining rapidly. 

The optimistic management 

Despite “this ultra-decline” in the revenue, the management is still optimistic, Chairman of Genedrive Dr Ian Gilham said that they completed a placing and open offer in October 2021, raising net proceeds of £6.6m. It has extended their cash runway to at least the end of their 2023 financial year, using a forecasting basis that excludes all revenues. Additional material revenues will further extend their runway, as they continuously assess their future funding options and requirements.
