9 percent revenue growth backs profitability turn

• Over the last 12 months, revenue reached about $58.4 million, up from roughly $53.6 million a year earlier, while net income for that trailing period came in at about $2.5 million instead of the loss of roughly $0.6 million shown a year ago.
• What stands out for a bullish view is that this 9 percent trailing revenue growth and the shift from a loss to $2.5 million of net income align with the idea of high quality earnings. However, the latest single quarter shows only $0.3 million of net income,
  • Supporters pointing to five year earnings growth of 7.7 percent a year get some backing from the positive trailing 12 month profit, but they also have to factor in that quarterly EPS has bounced between positive and negative over the last six reported quarters.
  • Bulls leaning on the description of high quality earnings can reference that profitability now extends across the full trailing 12 month window, not just an isolated quarter. Even so, individual quarters like Q1 2026 still reported a loss of about $0.4 million.

TTM EPS of $0.18 versus choppy quarterly pattern

• Trailing 12 month basic EPS stands at about $0.18, whereas the last six individual quarters range from a high of roughly $0.33 in Q3 2025 to a low of around negative $0.13 in Q4 2025, with Q2 2026 landing close to flat at about $0.02.
• For a bullish interpretation, the move from negative trailing EPS of about negative $0.25 at the start of 2025 to positive $0.18 by Q2 2026 supports the idea that profitability is now more than a one off,
  • At the same time, the step down from trailing EPS of about $0.47 at Q3 2025 to $0.18 by Q2 2026 reminds investors that the path to sustained profit has included some sizable swings.
  • This mix of positive trailing EPS and volatile quarterly numbers means any bullish case built on stable compounding still has to be tested against how wide those quarter to quarter EPS moves have been.

Valuation sits between peers and DCF fair value

• With the share price at $6.73 and a trailing P E of about 37.5 times, the stock trades slightly above the broader North American life sciences industry average multiple of roughly 35.9 times but below the peer group at about 52.4 times, and well under a DCF fair value of about $13.25.
• From a bearish angle, critics highlight that expected revenue growth of about 9 percent lags the 10.6 percent pace cited for the wider US market, and that paying a P E above the industry average for slower growth may be hard to justify even if the price is almost 49 percent below the DCF fair value,
  • This tension between a discount to DCF fair value and a premium to the industry multiple means bears can still argue that the market is pricing in some of the profitability shift already despite growth running behind the broader market.
  • However, the combination of positive trailing net income of roughly $2.5 million and a multiple that is below immediate peers gives investors a concrete set of numbers to weigh against concerns about the slower growth rate.
