Ovid Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company, has seen its revenue grow to US$6.65 million, yet it remains unprofitable with increasing losses. Despite having no debt and experienced management, the company’s cash runway is less than a year if current free cash flow trends persist. Recent earnings reports show significant revenue growth but also increased net losses compared to last year. The stock is highly volatile and not expected to achieve profitability in the next three years.
