#6 - Altimmune (NASDAQ:ALT)
Many of the stocks on this list are those of large-cap companies. That makes sense since these companies have the financial resources to deploy into an emerging area such as GLP-1. Altimmune Inc. (NASDAQ: ALT) is an exception. With just a $450.58 million market cap as of this writing, the company is a small-cap stock that trades at just $6.41 per share.
Altimmune’s GLP-1 candidate, pemvidutide, is similar to the current offerings from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. However, early reports show that it is more effective at preserving lean muscle mass. That said, the company is actively looking for partners to help it advance pemvidutide through clinical trials.
Altimmune is not for the risk-averse investor. The company is not yet profitable and is not generating significant revenue. But if you’re comfortable with a speculative bet in the GLP-1 space, Altimmune could be a buy low, sell high candidate to fatten your portfolio years down the road.
