Long Term Stock Alert (OTC:BSEM)
We have had this on our long term list for quite some time now. And
for good reason.
When we first alerted this thing it was trading at around $2.00 and
has had a killer run up to $15.00!!! That's just one side of it. There are many pieces to a puzzle and it seems like (OTC:BSEM) are putting all those pieces together! Revenues since we started have BLOWN UP!
On April 1st of 2024 (OTC:BSEM) reported 4th revenues of 2023 of
$11.5 Million 14x the previous year. If all this keeps up, who knows here this thing can be 6 months from now!
They just released a key piece of news yesterday letting
shareholders know that the process has begun for an uplist to a senior exchange…
Here is the link to the most recent PR:

The main question at this point to be asking
is:
With all the recent news that's come to light is
(OTC:BSEM) Undervalued? And what does this stock look like on the NASDAQ, NYSE or CBOE… ( Zacks still has an $18.00 Price target on this )
Here is the full report on the company from our biased point of
view…

The medtech arena is not
the easiest to navigate given how many kinds of companies are in it. It’s all about finding emerging players like BSEMwho have successfully navigated the regulatory process (a real barrier to entry) and show real growth.
Zack’s Small Cap
Research recently increased its price target to $18.70!
This notable research
firm sees the VALUE!
BSEM
states
its mission is “to discover, develop and produce the most effective regenerative medicine products in the world,” and Zack’s believes that the company is well on its way to achieving that goal—providing to investors what the firm believes is an opportunity to invest in a company that is both providing a vital service to the human population and providing economic value to shareholders when doing so!
The price increase from Zack’s follows
the company recently releasing preliminary and unaudited numbers that showed net revenue for 4Q2023 of $11.5 million, well ahead of Zack’s estimates and amore than 1300% increase from the year ago period!
For the year, the company also showed
preliminary net revenue of $16.7 million, which would be more than a 140% increase over 2022.
The official release and the full financials, according to the company, will be released in March.
“These recent
announcements and solid financial results reinforce our belief that growth is just beginning for BSEM and as a result, we are raising earnings estimates and raising our valuation target to $18.70.”

Recent
Milestones:
- Preliminary
net revenue for the fourth quarter 2023 was $11.5 million, (UNAUDITED)
an increase of 1,351% from the same period in 2022. Total preliminary net revenue reached $16.7 million (UNAUDITED), in the fiscal year concluding on December 31, 2023, representing a 142% increase compared to the previous year.
- The company announced in January 2024 that its Healthcare
Common Procedure Coding System code for Vendaje AC became effective and that the Center for Medicare Services established national pricing for AmnioWrap2 in all 50 states and territories.
- In November 2023, BioStem was awarded a Q code for VENDAJE
AC® by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code will be effective January 1st, 2024, and will ensure broader access to the company’s Vendaje® product.
- Also in November, the Company closed an oversubscribed private
placement for gross proceeds of $2 million.
- In October 2023, BioStem announced the opening of the first
site for its clinical trial, evaluating its Vendaje® tissue allograft in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The Company received an Investigational Review Board (IRB) for the landmark study in September 2023.
- In September 2023, the Company entered an agreement with
leading US wound market solutions provider, Venture Medical, LLC., for the nationwide release of its innovative product, AmnioWrap2™. Venture Medical will act as BioStem’s commercial partner as it works to bring its product portfolio to healthcare providers and patients around the country.
- Also in September, BioStem entered a commercialization
agreement with NovaBay Pharmaceuticals for its Amniotic Tissue Allograft, which is intended for use as a protective covering during the repair of ocular surfaces. NovaBay intends to commercialize the prescription-only product as Avenova Allograft to leverage its Avenova eye care brand and encourage use with other Avenova products. Medically necessary procedures with the Avenova Allograft will be reimbursed through Medicare.
- In September 2023, the Company was successfully listed on key
government contract vehicles, on the Department of Defense’s Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA), the Department of Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), and the Defense Logistics Agency’s ECAT system. This listing was made possible by BioStem’s Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) exclusive partner, Lovell Government Services.
Being awarded a Q code is a major milestone
for BSEM
!
It applies to drugs, biologics, and medical
equipment and services that are not identified by the national code needed for Medicare claims processing. It allows these “Q” products to be reimbursed by Medicare.
Zacks Smallcap Research previously noted:
“With the company’s recent announcement of a Q code, we believe
rapid growth is set to continueand are raising our valuation level as a result.”
With
BSEM’s
revenues skyrocketing, the
company securing a CMS Q code, game-changing partnerships, a successful capital raise, and the start of a crucial clinical trial for diabetic foot ulcers… this all reads like a recipe for tremendous shareholder value!

The Back Story
BioStem
CEO
Jason Matuszewski and Chief Operating Officer Andrew Van Vurst co-founded the company in 2014. When Van Vurst’s father developed side effects from radiation treatment for cancer, resulting in partial paralysis and speech impairment, Van Vurst returned from the military to explore treatment options that would help his father regain motor function, speech and overall quality of life.
These included regenerative medicine, utilizing material
derived from a human umbilical cord, that was being used to help restore tissues or organ damage because of age, disease, injury or other issues.
In 2013, Van Vurst and his father discovered South
Florida-based Caribbean International Holdings, a provider of stem cell treatments.
The regenerative medicine therapy proved to be a great success
for Van Vurst’s father, who regained his speech, and vastly improved his motor skills and overall quality of life. Due to the success of the treatment, Van Vurst and his father developed a passion for regenerative medicine and BioStem was born.
Future Medicine: Regenerative
Therapies
It’s no secret that the human body has an amazing
ability to heal itself. You may have heard the term regenerative medicine before. It’s basically where the body uses its own systems to rebuild tissues and organs.
With its potential to heal, regenerative medicine has become a
VERY hot topic and is expected to revolutionize healthcare
.
The market for regenerative medicine is expected to experience
significant growth over the next few years. It comes as no surprise that some of the biggest companies in healthcare are working hard to make advances in this vital space. This includes major players like Amgen, Sanofi, and Gilead Sciences.
A report from Grand View Research projects that the global
stem cell market will reach a massive US$18.4 billion by 2028.

The research firm sees
“the rising number of stem cell banks, growing focus on increasing
therapeutic potential of these, and extensive research for the development of regenerative medicines” as drivers of this market.
Grand View Research has also highlighted that
many studies have been conducted over the years to assess the true potential of stem cells, leading to a variety of applications in the fields of genetic disease treatment, neurological disorders, oncology, and organ regeneration.
An even more optimistic outlook comes from
Precedence Research which predicts that the market will explode to over $31B in 2030!

Harnessing Placental Tissue for Regenerative
Therapies
BSEM
manufactures tissue allografts that come from the human placenta. This is essentially a tissue transplant product from the placenta. In the space of skin substitutes, it is like xenografts or grafts from an animal.
What is an
allograft?
An allograft is a tissue that is
transplanted from one person to another. The prefix allo comes from a Greek word meaning “other.” (If tissue is moved from one place to another in your own body, it is called an autograft.) More than 1 million allografts are transplanted each year.

The Company’s Allografts Are Not Just Any
Allografts….
They Are Best-In-Class Placental Tissue
Allografts!
The proprietary BioRetain® processing
method.
BioRetain® has been developed by applying the latest
research in regenerative medicine, focused on maintaining growth factors and preserving tissue structure.
The company’s portfolio of quality brands includes
VENDAJE™, VENDAJE™ AC,VENDAJE™ OPTIC and AMNIOWRAP2
.
Each BioStem Technologies placental allograft is processed at
the Company's FDA-registered and AATB-accredited site in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Already Working with Notable Clients and Partners,
BSEM
is Paving the Way in Modern Medicine
with Astronomical Growth Potential!
BSEM
is focused on the application of tissue
engineering in wound healing and has curated a suite of versatile products called Vendaje.
Vendaje is the company’s primary product and harnesses
elements of perinatal tissue and the body’s innate biology to repair and restore damaged tissue in wounds, resulting in speedier healing with reduced pain.
![Vendaje](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/HUEmW20-hP-cSUYB41LjJa5-DiJW2VvLijCzNPvwuW9VnTi_v46cOcTLVqKcQNoeE8K0UWVeRN9KlrHSGSiK326F0-s9HbI1XvLVMJK4mW1lgi4Hea24ExryayG-Zg3zeqvomwAPEkUKQwvChPkQ5QI)
Vendaje comes in several different forms and sizes and is a
human connective tissue matrix comprised of amniotic tissue. This amniotic tissue is processed using the company’s proprietary BioRetain process, which creates a dehydrated human amniotic membrane allograft.
Placentally-derived human amniotic membrane (AM) is a source
of pro-healing growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines and has successfully been used in regenerative medicine for over a century.
Vendaje is the result of the modernization of this
science.
- VENDAJE™ is offered to all Medicare providers across the
United States. On January 1, CMS established and published the national pricing data for reimbursement based on the Average Sales Price (“ASP”) of VENDAJE™. Establishing national pricing for VENDAJE™ enables BioStem to offer its product to all Medicare providers across the U.S.
- VENDAJE™, VENDAJE ACTM, VENDAJE OPTICTM, and AMNIOWRAP2TM
are the only allografts available that leverage the company’s proprietary BioREtain processing technology.

BSEM
has
entered an agreement with leading US wound market solutions provider, Venture Medical, LLC., for the nationwide release of its innovative product, AmnioWrap2™.
A leading wound market solutions provider
called Venture Medical, LLC., will lead the company’s commercialization of AmnioWrap2™!
AmnioWrap2 is a versatile allograft solution
for wound applications. It is an advanced biologic skin substitute that is meticulously processed to offer an extensive range of wound healing and wound care solutions.
"AmnioWrap2™, is the latest
addition to BioStem's product portfolio, and is developed using its proprietary BioREtain process.
This process creates an allograft derived
from amniotic tissue, optimized to cater to diverse wound care applications."
The launch of AmnioWrap2 signifies a pivotal
milestone as the company expands its spectrum of innovative solutions within the wound care market.
According to the company, early users of AM
for wounds and post-surgical applications noted how the membrane seemed to disappear and integrate with the patient’s own tissue without a host reaction. This apparent immune neutrality is a result of mechanisms that suppress and modulate the immune system.
The increased adoption of perinatal tissues
has allowed for its significant penetration into the multibillion-dollar soft tissue repair market, which is expected to reach around $8.6B by 2030!
As more doctors become familiar with the
BSEM
technology, it could open doors to many
revenue opportunities!
