REHOVOT - Steakholder Foods Ltd. (NASDAQ:STKH), an innovator in alternative proteins and 3D printing technologies with a market capitalization of $430,000, has announced significant advancements as it enters 2025, including commercial agreements and strategic partnerships aimed at expanding its presence in the global food industry. According to InvestingPro data, while the stock has fallen over 70% in the past year, it has shown signs of recovery with a significant price uptick over the last six months. The company, which specializes in 3D-printed meat alternatives, has recently secured its first purchase orders and opened a full-scale Demonstration Center to showcase its technology.
During the past year, despite challenging conditions, Steakholder Foods made headway in its commercialization strategy, securing purchase orders for its SH™ Fish premix blends from Bondor Foods in September and its SH™ Beef premix blend from Wyler Farm. These orders are set to kickstart the launch of the "Whaat Meat?! by Steakholder" product line, indicating a move towards establishing recurring revenue streams.
The company’s products and technology received accolades at the Plant-Based World Expo in London, where it won three awards for its Salmon Patty, Fish Kebab, and Beef Alternative. This recognition points to market validation for Steakholder Foods’ offerings.
Strategic partnerships have been a focus for the company, with collaborations such as the one with UMAMI Bioworks in Singapore for cultivated seafood development and an agreement with Vegefarm Co. Ltd. in Taiwan for its 3D printing technology. Additionally, a collaboration with ITRI, supported by SIIRD grant funding, has been ongoing.
A primary strategic focus for Steakholder Foods as of today is to establish a strong foothold in the U.S. market. The company has appointed Saar Bracha to lead this initiative and has signed an agreement with Nexum Group, a strategy development firm. Notably, the company’s plant-based meat was prepared and served by celebrity chef David Burke in New York City.
Research and development efforts have continued, with enhancements to its Drop Location in Space (DLS) and Fused Paste Layering (FPL) technologies, and the company has received USD 490,000 in SIIRD grant funding for innovation in 3D-printed hybrid fish.
Financially, the company maintains a disciplined approach to financial management while investing in growth initiatives. InvestingPro analysis shows the company holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, with a healthy current ratio of 2.9x, though it faces challenges with rapid cash burn. Trading at just 0.06 times book value suggests potential undervaluation, making it an interesting case for value investors. With commercial agreements in place and ongoing partnership discussions, Steakholder Foods anticipates generating revenue in the coming months.
