Bull points
- We are on the brink of our product launch of our next generation analyzer. It's the most important analyzer that we've ever created or launched. It's the most important product for us in a 20-year time period.
- Currently, the company is endeavoring to complete its validation process so that the analyzer may be submitted for approval with the FDA.
- I want to be clear that the increase in kit sales, while larger than the percentage increase in revenues, does not imply a compression of our margins. Rather, our revenue from our division is a combination of U.S. military contracts along with our existing analyzer business.
Bear points
- Daxor has faced certain headwinds. Just like every other company, we've also experienced inflationary pressures in terms of cost of our headcount, and input into our process.
