Inspira Technologies Receives $2 Price Target and Buy Rating: Everything You Need to Know

Global Markets News

Litchfield Hills Research has initiated coverage of Inspira Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ: IINN)* with a Buy rating and a $2 price target, representing potential upside of over 225% from current trading levels of around $0.61 per share. This bullish outlook comes as the medical technology company continues to critical care technology addressing what the analyst describes as "a medical need without good options." The analyst notes that mechanical ventilators are "WWII technology in desperate need of an upgrade" with reports showing that 30% to 50% of ICU patients don't survive. Unlike mechanical ventilation, Inspira's ART500 technology would enable patients to remain awake during treatment while stabilizing oxygen levels without intubation and coma. What distinguishes Inspira from typical early-stage medical device companies is its proven regulatory execution and early commercial success. The company's first generation technology, the INSPIRA ART100 system, received FDA clearance in May 2024 and is already deployed in leading U.S. hospitals. The excitement around this technology reached a new high in April 2025 when the first successful patient treatment was completed at Westchester Medical Center. The commercial momentum seems to be accelerating. Inspira announced it received payment in the "low hundreds of thousands of dollars" from its U.S. distributor for delivered systems, marking the company's first revenues. CEO Dagi Ben-Noon called this "a transformative milestone for Inspira as we establish our presence in the U.S. medical landscape." The company has now initiated global commercial rollout discussions and expects additional deliveries in the second half of 2025. Central to Inspira's technology platform is the AI-powered HYLA blood sensor, which recently achieved 96% accuracy in clinical studies at Sheba Medical Center, one of the world's top hospitals. The system provides continuous monitoring without requiring blood draws, targeting the blood gas analyzer market projected to reach $5.7 billion by 2030. The analyst identifies massive market opportunities, with the global mechanical ventilators market expected to reach $20.69 billion by 2034. Inspira's flagship INSPIRA ART500 system in development aims to disrupt this market by providing respiratory support through direct blood oxygenation rather than forcing air into damaged lungs. Inspira has established strong intellectual property protection with multiple U.S. patents and novel patent claims protecting its core technologies. The company is executing a strategic approach of securing FDA clearance for individual components before integrating them into comprehensive systems. When comparing Inspira to similar medical device companies, the analyst found the stock trades at significant discounts despite having FDA-cleared technology already treating patients. The $2 price target reflects confidence in the company's ability to capitalize on its early commercial success and expand into the massive mechanical ventilation market. The analyst concludes that Inspira may represents a unique opportunity, combining proven FDA-cleared technology with substantial market opportunity and attractive valuation metrics in the high-growth medical device sector. Recent News from Inspira: Inspira Technologies Initiates Global Commercial Rollout of FDA-Cleared ART100 System INSPIRA ART100 System Approved by Israel's Largest Healthcare Provider for Use in Organ Transplant Patients Inspira Achieves above 99% Gas Exchange Efficiency in VORTX™ Technology In-Vivo Animal Testing * Legal Disclaimer & Disclosure: Nothing in this article constitutes financial or investment advice, nor does it represent an offer to buy or sell securities.

Market Alert: DarioHealth Receives $3 Price Target and Buy Rating: Everything You Need to Know

Global Markets News

Litchfield Hills Research has initiated coverage of DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO)* with a Buy rating and a $3 price target, representing potential upside of over 350% from current trading levels of around $0.66 per share. This bullish outlook comes as the digital health company continues to transform its business model and expand its comprehensive chronic care platform. DarioHealth has successfully pivoted from a direct-to-consumer model to a B2B2C (business-to-business-to-consumer) approach since 2020. This strategic shift has allowed the company to leverage its consumer platform strengths while expanding sales to health plans and employers. The company's B2B2C recurring revenue grew by an impressive 398% year-over-year in Q4 2024, demonstrating strong market adoption. The analyst highlights Dario's proven track record of both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, including the recent Twill acquisition which has strengthened its multi-condition platform. This expansion has positioned Dario to address five of the most common, expensive chronic conditions through a single, integrated solution. The $3 price target is based on a discounted future earnings model with a 9% discount rate. The analysis assumes Dario will reach GAAP breakeven in the second half of 2026, continue strong revenue growth to reach $66.1 million in 2026, achieve non-GAAP operating income of $17.4 million in 2026, and show improving gross margins, exceeding 80% in its core B2B2C business. Importantly, the report demonstrates that even at the $3 target price, Dario would trade at approximately 2.2x projected 2026 sales, which is still below the peer average of 2.28x. The analyst suggests Dario should command a premium multiple given its high growth profile and comprehensive platform. The report highlights Dario's unique competitive advantages relative to peers in the digital health space. Unlike competitors who focus on single conditions, Dario offers a comprehensive platform addressing diabetes, hypertension, weight management, musculoskeletal pain, and behavioral health. When comparing current market cap to sales and enterprise value to sales multiples, Dario trades at substantial discounts – 81% below peers on market cap to sales ratio and 54% below peers on enterprise value to sales ratio. This valuation gap, combined with Dario's proven clinical outcomes and expanding market presence, forms the core of the analyst's bull case. A significant growth driver highlighted in the report is Dario's expansion into the GLP-1 weight management space. The company's research has shown that members using GLP-1 experienced significant reductions in blood glucose levels in the first five months with changes sustained throughout the year. With the GLP-1 market projected to reach $100 billion by 2030, Dario's comprehensive solution combining medication management with behavioral support positions it to capture market share in this rapidly growing segment. Strategic partnerships, including its recent collaboration with Rula Health, further strengthen Dario's offering by providing access to over 15,000 behavioral health providers nationwide. The company is also leveraging AI technology to reduce operating expenses, with projections suggesting a 20% reduction in expenses between Q4 2024 and Q4 2025 through AI-driven process optimization. Litchfield Hills projects Dario's revenue will grow to $35.9 million in 2025 and $66.1 million in 2026, with gross margins improving to nearly 70% by 2026. The company is expected to achieve operational cash flow breakeven by late 2025, with full profitability in the second half of 2026. The recent $25.6 million private placement has strengthened Dario's balance sheet, providing sufficient runway to execute its strategic plan. With a blue-chip client list that includes major employers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, as well as top insurers and pharmaceutical companies, Dario appears well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for integrated digital health solutions that deliver measurable clinical outcomes and positive ROI. Recent News from Dario: DarioHealth Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results Dario's Digital Health Solution Demonstrates Effectiveness in New Research Examining Flu Vaccination Awareness in High-Risk Populations DarioHealth Closes Strategic Refinancing of Existing Debt Facility of up to $50 Million to Provide Additional Operational Flexibility and Support Growth Initiatives * Legal Disclaimer & Disclosure: Nothing in this article constitutes financial or investment advice, nor does it represent an offer to buy or sell securities.

News Release

Self-Therapy is Free!

The Stuttering Foundation

To mark National Stuttering Awareness Week (May 12-18), our classic book, Self-Therapy for the Stutterer, is now available as a 65-minute film from The Stuttering Foundation ( StutteringHelp.org ). It is available free to everyone through the end of National Stuttering Awareness Week by visiting our streaming video library at http://www.stutteringhelp.org/streaming and using the promotion code: NSAW25. Based on the timeless self-help book, now in its 11 th edition, by Stuttering Foundation Founder, Malcolm Fraser, this new video, Self-Therapy for Those Who Stutter, provides a powerful message to all who view it: If you stutter, you do not need to surrender helplessly to your speech difficulty because you can change the way you talk. There is no quick and easy way to tackle the problem, but with the right approach, self-therapy can be effective! Noted speech therapist, Dr. Charles Van Riper, praised this important guide and the concepts it explains: “There are always some who stutter who are unable to get professional help and others who do not seem to be able to profit from it. There are some who prefer to be their own therapist. Malcolm Fraser has provided guidance for those who must help themselves. Knowing well from his own experience as a stutterer the difficulties of self-therapy, he outlines a series of objectives and challenges that should serve as a map for the person who is lost in the dismal swamp of stuttering and wants to find a way out.” “While there are many differing opinions today about stuttering therapy, one thing is for sure, the tried and true techniques in this video have been effective for decades,” said Bob O’Brien, producer of the film. “When I first read Malcolm Fraser’s book, I was struck by how it reads like a self-training program. I knew then it needed to be made into a video, and that it would have a great impact on the audience.” Tom Sharstein, co-founder and chairman of the World Stuttering Network, demonstrated the techniques introduced by Malcom Fraser and shared his own personal experience with stuttering throughout the video. “Malcolm Fraser’s concepts are timeless, and this book changed my life,” said Sharstein. “When I was asked to be part of this project, I had to dig back many years to the dark ages of my stutter, and hopefully through this video, you'll be able to see my progression. The techniques laid out in this film will help you obtain smoother speech, if you want it.” A trusted source of information on stuttering, Stuttering Foundation materials are as close as your nearest public library. For decades, The Stuttering Foundation has made its books and videos available for free to public libraries across the country. Today, through the generosity of benefactors, more than 16,000 libraries shelve these materials. Public libraries can request the DVD free of charge by submitting the updated request form. About the Stuttering Foundation Malcolm Fraser, a successful businessman who struggled with stuttering, established the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation in 1947 and endowed it throughout his lifetime. The Foundation provides free online resources at StutteringHelp.org for people who stutter and their families, as well as support for research into the causes of stuttering.

Nuvectis Pharma's NXP900: Could This Revolutionary Cancer "Inactivator" Transform Oncology Treatment?

Global Markets News

Investors seeking the next breakthrough in precision oncology may want to take note of Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT)*, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing, among other candidates, NXP900 - which a a new analysis is describing not merely as a cancer inhibitor, but a complete cancer pathway "inactivator." The new analysis, published on notable investment newsletter “ Truffle Pigs ”, provided a comprehensive review of Nuvectis Pharma’s NXP900. Beyond Traditional Inhibition According to the Truffle Pigs blog, NXP900 represents something entirely new in cancer treatment. Unlike traditional kinase inhibitors that merely slow cancer signaling, NXP900 is characterized as the "first SRC kinase inactivator" - a distinction that could prove crucial in the fight against resistant cancers. The analysis highlights that NXP900 functions as a "type 1.5 inhibitor" that locks the SRC kinase in its inactive state, effectively shutting down all cancer signaling pathways and keeping them disabled between doses. This complete inactivation mechanism potentially offers a significant leap beyond current therapies. Promising Clinical Data Recent data presented at the 2025 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) meeting appears to support this thesis. According to the analysis, NXP900 demonstrated: Perhaps most intriguing were results showing that when combined with AstraZeneca's blockbuster drug osimertinib (Tagrisso), NXP900 demonstrated significant tumor regression and extended tumor control even after treatment ended - suggesting potential for durable responses or even complete responses in certain patients. Dual Market Opportunity The analysis notes two major market opportunities for NXP900: Single-agent therapy for SRC/YES1-driven tumors, potentially addressing approximately 20,000 lung cancer patients annually Combination therapy for overcoming acquired resistance to targeted drugs like osimertinib (EGFR) or lorlatinib (ALK), potentially addressing up to 70,000 non-small cell lung cancer patients annually While established companies like AstraZeneca generate nearly $7 billion annually from Tagrisso targeting approximately 20,000 new EGFR-mutated patients each year, Truffle Pigs' analysis suggests NXP900's broader applicability could potentially drive peak sales of $12-15 billion across various cancer indications. Investor Perspective With only 23 million shares outstanding and a current market cap of 219 million, Nuvectis represents a high-risk, high-reward opportunity typical of early-stage biotech. The company recently raised capital through a public offering of common stock, extending its cash runway into 2027 on what many would consider impressive terms given the market backdrop. Phase 1b trials targeting biomarker-selected cancers are expected to commence shortly, with potential clinical response data anticipated later this year.Notably, the original blog highlighted that that while the author held a position in Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT), he was not compensated to write or publish the content. In other words, one might say that the author has “skin in the game”. As with all development-stage biotechnology companies, significant risks remain. analysis appropriately notes that as with all companies in the field - regulatory approval hurdles, high clinical failure rates, capital intensity, potential market competition, uncertain revenue streams, and broader economic factors all present considerable risks that investors should take into account when conducting their due dilligence.

Nutriband Inc (NASDAQ: NTRB) Solution To Fentanyl Abuse Could Translate To $200 Million In Peak Revenue

NTRB

Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRB) is a pharmaceutical company with a specific focus on developing a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products. The company’s lead product under development is AVERSA™ Fentanyl, which is on track to becoming the first-ever abuse-deterrent transdermal fentanyl patch. AVERSA Fentanyl is currently pursuing a 505(b)(2) registration pathway, which should make it eligible for a more expedited review. For context, AVERSA is Nutriband’s proprietary technology that can be incorporated into any transdermal patch to prevent the abuse, misuse, diversion, and accidental exposure of drugs with the potential for abuse, like opioids. What makes AVERSA unique is its aversive agent coating, which leverages taste aversion to deter oral abuse and accidental exposure to transdermal opioid patch products. More than 70% of fentanyl patch abusers choose oral routes to abuse, so taste aversion addresses primary routes of abuse. That means AVERSA technology has the potential to improve the safety profile of transdermal drugs susceptible to abuse, such as fentanyl, while making sure that these drugs remain accessible to those patients who really need them. In one of the company’s recent major corporate milestones, Nutriband announced that it had received notification that its patent had been granted in Macao, which protects its AVERSA abuse-deterrent transdermal technology. The technology is now covered by a broad international intellectual property portfolio with patents issued in 46 countries, including the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, China, Canada, Mexico, and Australia, as well as two regions of China: Hong Kong and Macao. Interestingly, the company hasn't been structured to follow the typical biotech standard when it comes to time and cost. The company already has two revenue-generating subsidiaries, 4P Therapeutics and Pocono Pharmaceutical, along with Active Intelligence, which specializes in sports recovery products. Nutriband’s revenues keep its development burn at a minimum. The company also owns its manufacturing and clinical development capabilities, which significantly reduces its costs for AVERSA and other technologies. Most notably, Nutriband partnered with Kindeva Drug Delivery to develop AVERSA Fentanyl, which combines Nutriband’s AVERSA abuse-deterrent technology with Kindeva’s FDA-approved fentanyl patch. Kindeva Drug Delivery is a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) that has a rich history in pharmaceutical innovation and manufactures millions of transdermal patches distributed worldwide. This strong partnership for AVERSA Fentanyl’s commercial development has led to significant progress in the abuse-deterrent patch’s development and manufacturing. Recently the two companies revised their agreement to formalize their exclusive product development partnership and long-term commitment based on shared development costs in exchange for milestone payments. At the same time, Nutriband revealed that it had signed an Associate Partnership agreement with Charlotte FC, which would be instrumental in helping build visibility for its brands, such as AI Tape. Management noted, “We are very excited to partner with an organization such as Charlotte FC as an Associate Partner. Manufacturing many of our products locally in the Charlotte region through our Pocono subsidiary makes this relationship special.’’ AVERSA’s addressable market is huge, depending on how you look at it. For instance, accidental fentanyl misuse is a growing problem, as illustrated by a recent report that revealed there had been 32 cases of accidental fentanyl exposure, which occurred, resulting in 12 deaths and dozens of hospitalizations, mostly involving young children. This is where the technology comes into play, as it significantly reduces the likelihood of accidental exposure to fentanyl for children. Furthermore, AVERSA Fentanyl is well aligned with the FDA’s Opioids Action Plan mission to expand access to abuse-deterrent formulations (ADFs) and to reduce the risks of misuse not just by the patient but also by other persons who obtain opioids. Upon approval of AVERSA fentanyl, the company expects that the FDA will consider requiring all fentanyl patches to be abuse deterrent, as was required for all oxycontin generics, which could potentially translate to more market share. To put the opportunity here into better context, consider this. According to Health Advances’ assessment, once approved by the FDA, AVERSA Fentanyl is expected to reach peak annual sales of about $200 million. The company believes that conservative pricing will be a key component of capturing and maintaining market share in addition to real-world data and marketing. According to the Health Advances’ report on AVERSA Fentanyl, Nutriband can expect to comfortably charge a 20% premium versus generics while maintaining insurance coverage and support, ideally capturing the market as the safest fentanyl patch in its class.

NAVEX One: Supporting HIPAA Compliance with Integrated Risk and Compliance Content

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management solutions, offers healthcare organizations the tools they need to meet rigorous data privacy and security requirements. As the regulatory environment grows increasingly complex, NAVEX announces that NAVEX One now delivers centralized policy management, employee training, and risk assessment solutions aligned with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) enabling simplified compliance. HIPAA establishes national standards to safeguard sensitive patient health information.

NAVEX One has long supported these efforts, offering content and capabilities that streamline compliance and strengthen privacy and security programs. “HIPAA compliance is a cornerstone of trust in healthcare. Organizations need a partner that not only helps them check the boxes but also actively supports their broader privacy and risk mitigation goals,” said A.G. Lambert, Chief Product Officer at NAVEX. “NAVEX One equips healthcare compliance professionals with the tools to develop sustainable, defensible programs that protect patient data and reduce regulatory risk.” NAVEX One empowers healthcare organizations to: Centralize and maintain privacy and security policies aligned to HIPAA.
