Surging company has all the right ingredients. *Sponsored by Sica Media Good morning ladies and gents, Jeff Bishop here again!On Tuesday, I wrote to you about a small biotech stock, noting that âmy favorite indicators are signaling that we may be on the cusp of another major breakout.â My verdict? â[T]his is looking like a fat pitch right over the plate.â I checked in at the closing price on the day I mentioned it to you: Yesterday morning, I had déjà vu: And this morning, itâs putting up another 8% move in the pre-market. All told, a 30% gain in about 48-hours â not bad for just taking the time to open an email I sent you and pay attention to the idea I presented. Did you get any other 30% winning ideas sent to you this week? Of course not! Youâre in the right place here! Today, I have my eye on another small biotech that I think is equally promising â and Iâm not the only one. There is just ONE stock you need to worry about looking at right now, and here it is⦠MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. (NYSE: MAIA) This Chicago-based immuno-oncology company was in a steady drawdown since January, but two weeks ago, it took a turn up, and a steady barrage of great news has continued to propel it higher: Thatâs often how charts for these clinical-stage biotechs look. Early investors lose patience or grow anxious as trials draw on and cash-on-hand draws down, then news hits and BAM! Weâre off to the races ð. As youâll see, any anxiety investors had should be considerably soothed based on this spate of news. And for our purposes, it looks like this may just be the beginning of a much larger run⦠Here are the big things that jumped out from my research:Lead Asset Progressing The biggest news, in my view, was what MAIA observers had been eager to hear for months. Back in July, Seeking Alpha published [an analysis]( by âBiotech Beastâ (Iâm trying to convince my wife to call me that ð), who said âI consider MAIA a buy as I expect the upcoming catalyst that is another update on the THIO-101 trial in the fall (Q3'23 to Q4'23) to result in a rally.â Well, just Tuesday we got another bombshell [headline](: THIO â the companyâs lead asset â is an agent that targets the telomeres of cancer cells, âleading to âuncappingâ of the chromosome ends and thus resulting in rapid tumor cell deathâ according to the companyâs [website](. Source: [MAIA Corporate Presentation](, June 2023 The news was that among the 49 early enrollees in THIOâs Phase II trial, â37 already completed at least 1 post baseline assessment.â This âencouraging efficacy observed in dosed patients is prompting physicians to speed up trial enrollment even further.â The week earlier, the company [announced]( FDA approval of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for THIO. This will allow the company to expand its Phase II trial â which was already taking place in Australia and Europe â into the US, and should also help speed along enrollment. Back on October 10, we also [learned]( that THIO âshowed highly potent anticancer activity in gliomas, an aggressive type of brain tumor.â âThese encouraging results further highlight THIOâs excellent anti-cancer activity across several cancer indications," said MAIAâs CEO Vlad Vitoc, M.D. Insider Confidence Is High One of the biggest things to look for when surveying a clinical-stage biotech is positive insider sentiment. Obviously these companies will put on a smile in their press releases and corporate presentations, but when it comes down to it, will they put their own money where their mouths are? Well clearly, the [top folks]( at MAIA are true believers: Over the last year, company insiders bought shares 79 times and didnât have a single sell reported, even during the post-January drawdown. I mean, in this market, all I do is hear about insiders dumping shares. MAIA insiders are actually putting more skin in the game with shareholders. This tells me the people who would know best believe in the efficacy of their drug pipeline and believe that at least some products will pan out. Another very strong sign of insider confidence was the [announcement]( on September 28 (two days after the stock began its reversal) of an $800,000 share repurchase program that the company can exercise through September 2024. $800k is nothing to sneeze at for a company with a miniscule market cap like MAIA! But more important than what the program could do to the share price is that it signals MAIA isnât likely to do a capital raise right now, and that executives feel comfortable enough with their cash reserves that they are choosing to add value to shareholders by purchasing their own stock. Again, all of this tells me that the âpeople who would knowâ see a bright future for MAIA. Bullish Sentiment Abounds But MAIA executives arenât the only ones who seem bullish on the stock. Earlier, I quoted the incredibly-named Biotech Beast of Seeking Alpha who considered the company a âbuyâ in July. In the [same article](, he outlined his reservations: The risks of any long in MAIA are several fold . . . . Firstly, subsequent data from THIO-101 could disappoint, secondly, MAIA could fail to raise additional funds leading to concerns over cash and thirdly, delays in enrollment could cause the stock to trade down. With the benefit of hindsight, I think we can say all those concerns have been mitigated at the very least. While Mr. Beastâs analysis didnât make it to [TipRanks](, I was able to find that an analyst from Noble Financial reiterated a âbuyâ rating with a whopping $14.00 price target for MAIA â which would make it a five-bagger opportunity from its current price of $2.32. Over at Yahoo! Finance, all signs are flashing green: Yahoo! has even given MAIA a near-perfect score when compared to others in its sector: Clearly, others are just as excited about MAIA as I am â and as I hope you are reading this. Wrapping Up I mentioned to you on Tuesday that the âgo/no goâ algorithm is the single-best computer-generated indicator I look to, as it combines over a dozen different momentum indicators to get a read on where a stock is going. Hereâs the readout on MAIA: You can see the big breakout starting on 9/28. It has consolidated from there, but is now threatening to break the resistance level and possibly continue its uptrend. Thatâs why I think now is a critical time to take a look at this stock. The news about the success of the companyâs leading asset is hot off the presses, and investors are just coming to terms with it. Clearly, investors see promise in MAIAâs potentially groundbreaking therapeutics, and this latest batch of news will only help confirm that. I think the 90% rally we saw over the last two weeks could likely be in the early innings, and looking at the price action from yesterday, I think this is an urgent opportunity to get in at the right price for what could be a powerhouse rally. There is a big move coming for MAIA (one way or another) very soon â be on the lookout for it! Thatâs what I think. As always, you must do your own research to see if you agree. Google âMAIAâ, study the chart, read the financials⦠do all your due diligence and have a gameplan that fits your personal risk profile. But do so soon, because I think this one could be ready to explode ð§¨. To Your Success *This investment involves substantial risk.
