Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

For the approximate time period from August 31, 2025, to December 4, 2025, Pasithea Therapeutics (KTTA) experienced a 44.8% stock movement due to several key developments:

1. Pasithea Therapeutics announced the pricing and subsequent closing of a $60 million public offering of common stock. This significant capital infusion, priced at $0.75 per share, is expected to fund the development of PAS-004 and extend the company's cash runway through at least the first half of 2028.

2. The company received a $1 million award from the ALS Association. This non-dilutive grant is specifically allocated to study the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Pasithea's lead drug candidate, PAS-004, for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), expanding its potential therapeutic indications.
