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

Here are the key points for why BiomX (PHGE) stock moved by -56% for the approximate time period from August 31, 2025, to today: 1. U.S. FDA Clinical Hold on BX004 Phase 2b Trial.

On August 19, 2025, BiomX announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a clinical hold on the U.S. portion of its BX004 Phase 2b trial for cystic fibrosis. This hold was specifically related to a third-party nebulizer device used for drug delivery, and not due to concerns about the drug candidate itself. While the company aimed to address the FDA's queries, a clinical hold typically introduces uncertainty and can negatively impact investor sentiment. 2. Decreased Cash Balance and Shortened Cash Runway.

BiomX reported a significant decrease in its cash and restricted cash balance. As of September 30, 2025, the company's cash and restricted cash stood at $8.1 million, down from $18 million at the end of 2024. The company estimated this cash runway would only be sufficient to fund its operations into the first quarter of 2026, raising concerns about future financing needs.
