Moderna’s selloff puts a near-$100 billion valuation against $2.2–2.3 billion in annual revenue and established melanoma competition, though Loncar says the data strengthened the medical and commercial case.Tango’s PRMT5 inhibitor delivered an 82% response rate and 88% non-progression at nine months in heavily pretreated pancreatic cancer, but its shares fell; the MTAP-deleted opportunity may cover 30–40% of patients.

Andrew WalkerPaul Cerro

Cerro’s HIMS thesis shifts attention from peptide launches to the data and labs layer: subscriber counts have “barely grown” for three quarters, making retention the lever for LTV and payback.The August 10 print will test Eucalyptus-driven revenue upside against lower EBITDA guidance, the first full Novo Nordisk partnership quarter, and execution by management Cerro says he does not trust.

Harry StebbingsAndrew Dudum

Hims & Hers is down 66% in six months to a $4.35B market cap on over $2.3B of revenue, while Andrew Dudum says weight loss remains one of a dozen clinical categories, not the core business.Its consumer-platform model is reshaping pharmaceutical distribution, using lower-priced GLP-1 access, AI-enabled productivity, and loss-leading diagnostics to build a broader healthcare front door; retention decay remains the key risk to monitor.

Andrew WalkerJudd Arnold

Judd Arnold’s process now favors liquid inflections where small “junior varsity positions” can become large once “people will care,” rather than merely cheap, illiquid stocks.His $TOI thesis is that capitated oncology can redirect prescribing toward lower-cost regimens, with Florida contracts at roughly $35 PMPM versus $3 in California, but clinician control, reimbursement capture, and the post-SPAC SG&A blowout remain execution risks.

Daphne ZoharBruce BoothEric Schmidt

Biotech’s year-end pause looks like healthy stock-picker consolidation, with XBI near 124 while mediocre data from Pyxis and Nektar were heavily punished.Nearly $9B of October-November follow-ons is creating indigestion, as first-day performance increasingly sets discounts for subsequent deals.Confidential S-1 flips could fuel a Q1 IPO rush, but recycled issuers and a disrupted FDA policy backdrop make quality and execution the key risks.
