What the bad jobs report means for markets
When InvestingPro’s Fair Value models identified (NASDAQ:VERU) as significantly undervalued in January 2024, the healthcare company’s stock was trading at just $0.41. Today, that analysis has proven remarkably accurate, with shares delivering a 67% return for investors who recognized the opportunity.
Veru Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel medicines for COVID-19 and other viral and ARDS-related diseases, has demonstrated the power of data-driven valuation analysis. While investors can find today’s most promising opportunities on the Most undervalued list, this historical success showcases the effectiveness of InvestingPro’s Fair Value methodology.
The company’s fundamentals have shown notable improvement since the initial analysis. Revenue has increased from $13.79 million to $16.89 million, while EBITDA losses have significantly narrowed from -$74.38 million to -$40.76 million. The company’s earnings per share have also improved from -$0.70 to -$0.25, validating the original thesis of market undervaluation.
Recent developments have further supported the stock’s recovery. Veru has made substantial progress in its drug development programs, particularly with Enobosarm, receiving FDA clearance for new trials and adding key expertise to its advisory board. The company has also reported better-than-expected earnings in recent quarters, with Q2 2025 results exceeding analyst forecasts.
InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis combines multiple valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow models, comparable company analyses, and market range analysis, to identify mispriced securities. In Veru’s case, the model accurately predicted a significant upside potential of 51.81%, which has been exceeded by the actual return of 67.47%.
