Point-of-Care Diagnostics includes OPKO’s breakthrough point-of-care platform and a pipeline of novel diagnostic tests, including those for prostate cancer, total PSA, and Vitamin D.

Cytochroma: OPKO has gained access to a suite of products for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism and hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease patients through its recently announced agreement to acquire all of the assets.
Collectively, I think this pipeline and laundry list of products makes Opko Health very diversified, and the losses in OPK stock make it an attractive investment. With a market capitalization of only $5 billion, it is not so large that a company like Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) or Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) could not easily afford it, but it is large enough to where its assets would have a material effect on the businesses of a would be acquirer. Regardless, whether acquired or not, OPK stock looks like a good long-term investment. |
