Opko Health Inc (OPK) Quote

Makes one wonder after looking at the trading pattern of CDXC (whom Dr. Frost is connected with) if OPK will do the same in the near future. Transfer of wealth in a very coordinated manner imo.

What a shet show! Millions and millions of shares trade on Monday and 10 million plus today and the stock barely climbs. Let me guess, it was a quadruple whitching Monday and the moon was full? I have to admit I have never seen trading like this, is this even legal?

This stock is flat out evil. Whoever is manipulating it is surely going to hell in a hand basket. Outright greed imo strip mining shareholders of absolutely any chances here. Not even fun to watch the crazy shenanigans going on.

Ive lost the last 2.5% respect I had for Dr. Frost and team of which 1.5% of it was for Dr. Jane Hasao. They could solve world hunger and I wouldnt even bat an eye. This is text book bullshet!

If that is true it is very sad to hear Mike. I lost money a couple of times but was able to profit very early in 2015/16 before the HFT AI trading took over. You are but one of many that have been systematically “cycled” out of their money. The trading of this stock appears to be so robotic, almost programmed through AI squeezing every last penny out of investors. Maybe one day Dr. Frost will have to answer here on earth for why he was so incompetent at the helm of a company he holds and continues to buy many millions of shares of stock of.

Do not worry, God will “settle” his trades.

Happy Easter!

I sold every Opko share and Lost 437,000 dollars and my retirement money is all gone.
I sold all of it at 90 cents down to 86 cents.
Wiped out.. and then it went up to 1.25
Even at 1.25 I still lost 95 % .
Frost got away with it! SEC would not award me 1.00 buck

88 cents and dropping. Chart momentum was showing it even with Frost buying.
Not looking good.

Yes, I wrote about Yvonne Briggs IR, and said as I asked a simple question, I started to probe other harder.
Result backed off, and told me to read the Q reports . I called you, because you the Investir relation support. I got more calls gotta go.
This will be sold and the time frame to me looks like 2 qtrs

The reason we ask questions directly to management is there is an underlying tone that is not open with this company. I highlighted that with Adam Logal during the conference call mentioning the repurchase of shares. That was a deflection from what was really going on… Yvonne tries to come across as being open at the investor relations department. As a former business owner, I can assure you what you get from investor relations is scripted to what has been publicly released only. Behind the scenes is a different world. We (our team of investors) are betting on some type of buyout. Elias is in his 70s, Frost is near 90. Those are the main characters. Both cut from the same mold…grow the business, then sell it. Very common practice.
What Yvonne tells about the current outstanding shares is only part of the story. In a buyout, many of those reserved shares would also have to be honored. So, being conservative 1,000,000,000 shares at this point would be the buyout amount. For example: a buyout at 7 dollars would represent a 7 billion dollar purchase. Modex has value potential we think. As many here have said, the lab has been a nemesis and OPKO has not reacted fast enough. There was a reason the former owner was happy to sell Bio for 1.5 billion. We can see clearly now. But what remains a mystery is why OPKO continues to fund it at a deficit in the hundreds of millions? On another note…
We will be traveling for a while until mid June to China. Until then, hopefully OPKO will have some good fortune during the interim.

Good information Homeboy, I talk about that a while back. I knew that the casflow statements and Income statement never were fixed.... Issuance was the only quick savior.
This 1,000,000 share buying is not going to solve the perception from the destroyed Audience.
A sold company would...

I inquired about the specifics to increase the share count:

“The Board has unanimously adopted and declared advisable, and has recommended that the Company's stockholders approve, the Charter Amendment, which would amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,000,000,000 to 1,250,000,000.

In addition to the 726,764,700 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (including treasury shares) as of the record date, the Board has reserved an aggregate of 418,733,078 additional shares for future issuance, consisting of the following: (a) 53,731,069 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding employee stock options; (b) 32,912,579 shares reserved for future issuance of awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan; (c) 48,295 shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Company's outstanding 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 issued in February 2019; (d) 8,489 shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Company's outstanding 2033 convertible senior notes issued in January 2013; and (e) 332,032,646 shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Company's outstanding 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 issued in January 2024.

As a result, the Company currently has no authorized but unissued shares of common stock (including treasury shares) that are unreserved and available for future issuance.”

This stock Opko is getting spanked , I hope something is coming. . 775m @ 2bucks 3 4 5 6 7 8 × the outstanding or unload BRL.
Genedx holdings went way up after 1.16 slide.
So, they don't need just cash they need a SANE financial plan..

Dr Frost has absolutely nothing zero nadda up his sleeve. I check back once in a while and still the same nonsense. Sell. Get out with what little you have left.

Frost must have something up his sleeve. He alluded to that without letting the cat out of the bag during the conference call. We are holding our position. A little under water.

Yes, I also paid attention to what Elias said.
And the chang up to this year. I heard last year by the 1st quarter of 24. . These continued misses is why recommending from a brokerage to clients, Institutional and the public they sold and lowered holdings . Did here it right.
1.4 m on pfe 3rd qtr / and 12m on q4 pfe
Covering the expenditures from this, needs a budget . Weight loss drug, good luck !

Elias, whom I like, a year ago talked about being at break even with the lab by 2024. That didn’t happen and in the last conference call he regurgitated his remarks from a year ago that to be profitable sometime this year. Price reflects the lack of execution. The lab is the cause for the price as you say Mike..it has been choking OPKO since the purchase. Frost mentioned the lab was making 100 million a year at the time of purchase…I am starting to have my doubts about that statement.
With the new note deal, Frost will have/has more than 300 million shares. Logal wanted to highlight during the recent conference call that OPKO bought back 50 million shares with the note deal. That is just part of the deal. He failed to mention OPKO also had to reserve approximately 200 million just in case the notes are not repurchased. Dilution possibly to the tune of 150 million shares give or take.
Like you mentioned Mike, something has to give. One of the stocks we owned was KOPN and during the pandemic it went below 40 cents and on a squeeze went to 12 bucks before retreating. Frost stated the repurchase of the 50 million shares would put a floor in on the stock price right about where it is. There is 94 cents below the floor??

.93 cents Dude.. Does the cash on hand and upcoming losses gonna give this a down draft.
Some analyst believe .-30 for 2024 FY
Dicey or play the rocking chair trades
Back and forth. Back to 1.00 or 1.01
Regardless, IMO this can't last much longer

“Market makers can influence stock prices by buying or selling stocks in large trading volume.”

Exactly, I said 3 quarters of cash. Yes concern for the burn. If you being choked, pull the hand from your throat. The point is they will collapse without action. This is Bad man.
Cheap got cheaper, and more cheaper.
Wedsday trading will be down

Conference call revealed, reading between the lines, there is about 2 quarters of cash on hand to carry the losses. One analyst asked about disengaging from Bio and becoming a pharma only business. Take care everyone.

Price to book ratio is .57, 1.00 is acceptable.
Investors say look Opko is Undervalued.
The real detection is " Financial distress "..
Be careful, and yes it could punch the wallet even more Cheap means something, and nobody is beating a path to buy at under a Buck..
It's mismanaged and Risky..

Revenue matches market cap pretty much. Thinking it can’t go lower can be dangerous to the wallet. Market makers will release the leash when they see fit. OPKO management is not moving fast enough to cure the constant loss per quarter. The note deal was self serving…and we will never know the full details. Warrants for the 230 mil at 5 bucks a share would have been a healthy way to instill trust. I don’t blame Frost for doing what he did. This company would have dried up long ago without his money. Have a good week…earnings Tuesday after market. Although they are guided to lose money the best we can expect is that they beat the loss and good news of some sort for the near future. Take care.

Opko stock will be on sale this week.

Not sure what they think they can accomplish with NextPlat in a country where the government owns all the land (people can buy a home, but not the land), and people are poor. I’m not expecting anything money wise to come from this. We are in a bear trap…the only way out is good corporate news. Take care everyone.

Yea you can’t. Teaming up with this company is the act of a penny stock company. That’s all I think. Hope you bought cheap shares and don’t lose much like most people have.

Opko selling dog food? Is it true ?? and do they want to just set up a Limited Partnership to " short there own stock somemore" .
I hope there is a mention of financial Eps impact
When can you believe these guys about any development.??

Are you excited about OPKO selling pet food. To da moon lol

Thanks Mike and good analogy.

The 2019 notes they recently bought were to be converted at $4.22 a share.

Not one comment from an analyst regarding this recent note deal. Hmmm

Homeboy, great post ! It's accurate of what you see, what I see and what institutional investors see, analysts see. .. Everything he buys, it admits something Lacks.. To over compensate for mismanagement.

**Movie theatre analogy, 26 tickets sold to watch the movie and nobody came except Phil Frost. " he bought up 26 movie tickets and sat in an empty theater. The point, somethings needs to be done to get people to come. Denial runs Opko...

I used to do well 20 to 35% annual growth on a 5 year run. Or consistant growth of 15 % .
Eps, and revenue with a solid ranking !
Translation: investors become interested.
Ranking of between 1 the best and 5 sell..
Opko, is ranked based on truthful performance
Year over year. It doesn't delivers.
The stock price tells the truth, and its true !.

Sent today to OPKO in response to your post:
You can buy all the shares as you wish, but a stock without earnings and revenue growth goes south.

OPKO is a penny stock and mismanagement is to blame.
If you have a consistent flow of income from the lab (per Adam Logal) can’t you figure out how to manage to be consistently profitable?? I sent a video of Dr. Frost in a Mad Money interview with Jim Cramer…stating the lab at purchase time had a revenue of one billion and income of 100 million. WHAT HAPPENED???????????
You’ll get the accolades too …not much to speak of at the moment.

OPKO has relationships with major pharmaceutical companies. Perhaps sell the company..or spin off Modex. Do something constructive. Hedge funds are showing no interest even at this price of pennies a share. The hedge funds want to see consistent revenue growth and profitability. Until then, do you think insiders buying shares will attract them? NOT without revenue growth and profit. Hedge funds move the stock..they are Wall Street.

Put someone on the board from a major pharmaceutical company…not just management being the board and calling all the shots. Do something!

Earnings and revenue growth are the most important factors to consider I think…although insider buying is a positive, it’s not what ultimately drives investors to a stock.

Frost bought 1.500.000 today. Big Deal !
I can't manage so I'll buy, it will fix the finances.
You got alot of supply to go Phil. At 5m a week the stock might settle at 1.05..
350million more supplybthat nobody wants Phil.
You burned every bridge. Nobody is listening anymore. Your a Crook. Even your emoyees don't want to come to work .

A rip down, for MM scooping. They could not go farther than 1.00 . So, the rip down, blowout stop orders scoop at .92 cents and resell this after a floor is put in and sell off the scooped stock. Pathetic operations. Opko is poorly managed

Well orchestrated bear raid this morning..perhaps to get the weak hands out.

Hopefully the link works. Frost states at the time of acquiring BioReference revenues were at a billion dollars and income 100 million.
I sent this to Frost himself. It just shows the management was not and has not been in place to maintain, grow, and execute.

Yes, very good written posts. Search for efficiency. Find ways to see inefficient operations
CFO is an ass pirate, a puppet, a wuss.
CEO is highly ineffective. " if I keep buying shares, I'll get attention. No, the bottom line should bother you dto react . You don't react.
1.00 dollar or 98 cent company.
Buyout, replace the CEO , or go under..
Acsale looks correct. 690m × 5 00 a share buyout is 3.5 billion. Maybe..

Buyout
I think OPKO will eventually get bought out. That is Frost’s MO. He’s 88 now and not much time left to control the company. He’s got plenty of shares. It’s just a matter of lining up the stars. My opinion based on Frost’s past record. We are holding our shares bought at a dollar.

Excellent!! Very well stated and right on the money.

Here’s what happened:

“ Effective January 22, 2024, OPKO Health, Inc. (the “Company”) terminated its share lending agreement, dated as of February 4, 2019 (the “ShareLendingAgreement”), entered into with Jefferies Capital Services, LLC (the “Share Borrower”), pursuant to which the Company lent to the Share Borrower approximately 30 million shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share in connection with the 2019 issuance of its $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes due
2025. The amount of outstanding borrowed shares was subsequently reduced by approximately 8,313,000 shares and, concurrent with the termination of the Share Lending Agreement, all shares have been returned to the Company to be held as treasury shares.”

I agree. Sent this last Wednesday to management:

CFO

“Probably my last message, but wanted you to hear my perspective. The recent note issue was a win/win for Dr. Frost. He either gets interest and his balance back or shares at a low price. Win/win for him.

We are currently in one of the greatest bull markets of all time and if Trump wins it will continue I believe. OPKO has not participated. Why is that…see suggestions.

What is the cause to watch a stock go from near 20 to under a dollar?? Poorly managed. Dr. Frost has the financial ammo to just have fun with OPKO. I understand running at a deficit for a while, but we are at year 17!!! Whoever the CFO is should be fired in my opinion. Doesn’t he make nearly a million a year? It’s his job to come up with suggestions to keep the company financially healthy. Replacing him for half his salary would not be too difficult. What does he do besides inputting numbers to a spreadsheet and attend four conference calls a year? Please send his job description.

Does he look out for the best interest of other shareholders? The company and its share price could be higher with a profit of 15% on an annual basis. I was in business and we hit our goal every year for 20 years. Never less than 15%. When we had inclement weather we delivered to peoples’ homes for a fee on snowmobiles. We did whatever it takes as the expression goes.

So, how does one achieve this??? Grow the business of course. Reduce employee count and become streamlined, efficient. Look at salaries and benefits. Is there a protocol how employees address patients? Look at Chick-Fil-A. Trained very well. Look at Enterprise rent a car. Trained very well. Emulate others when appropriate. The CEO of Costco visits every Costco every year. Do employees know what is expected of them? At those businesses you can see what is expected of them.

Pass along to the CFO and the CEO please. What I expect of the CEO and CFO-Do your job for shareholders and not just for yourselves. It is your fiduciary obligation.

Have a great day!”

Adam Logal is a complete moron. I wouldn’t hire him as a teller if I owned a bank.

IMO and I'm on Hallucinogenic acid, and tripping
I feel Phil Frost will rally this company all the way up to 1.25 a share. I know I'm a little buzzed .
But this guy is so smart. Look at the great results. So you got to average down since 2015 from 18 bucks a share.
It's just waiting to roar back. Who cares about my foreclosure of the house I lost
The stock will rally. I mortgage my home and lost it all so far.. I still helieve in guys like Richard Phenninger. So I lost my life savings, we will kake it back Phil is honest, and the stock will b return back to 18.00. I'll get all KY life savings back

Yes, aftermarket trades were big. I saw the signaling MM activity or the CREW.
15 share blocks 95 shares to buy a 97 cent stock.
Nothing more than communication of under 100 share block that move the needle, but 652k blocks are even at 1.00.. They control the market on shares.
Buys, why... could be something

More than 8 million shares traded after market yesterday. That’s what I have. Anyone see that?

CEO SUMMARY: It’s a case of the little fish gobbling the big fish, as Opko Health—with revenue of $91 million—will be acquiring Bio-Reference Laboratories, with revenue of $832 million.

-Today, the cost to run the labs is 600 million annually. Adam Logal gave this info.

P.S. There are two people at investor relations. I was dealing with Yvonne for a while until she would not respond with some of the info I have the right to know. Bruce is the other and he has been helpful.

Completely correct.

I’m not sure where your information regarding BRL came from but the management was highly corrupt when OPKO bought them and I’m struggling to remember them being profitable. For rents paid to Dr owned properties they were fined $10 mil for overpaying rent to these people in return for referrals. There is nothing good about anything here. From the lawsuits to the empty promises it stinks and the crap reaches the sky. Just sell and move on. Use the tax loss.

When during the company’s hay day of Covid-19testing I suggested Frost sell the company as this would boost the stock price. The company actually was profitable for a while, but I knew that would not last the way Frost wastes money. When this didn’t happen I sold in the $ 4s (years ago). Now, I check back on this loser and see how right I was. I also predicted about a year ago the stock price would drop below $1. It took longer than expected but finally got there. Soon to be delisted and join the land of penny stocks. Sad! I don’t know why some still hang on to this loser as it has the worst possible management that keeps wasting money and not a chance of ever being profitable with these clowns running the company.

Ps: I check back in a year or so (if OPKO is still listed)
