Biotech and the money flowing into biotech stocks has been 99.99% focused on a covid-19 Vaccine. Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) has announced their vaccine with Moderna (NASAQ: MRNA) soon to follow. Pfizer has had a great run from $35 to $42 and Moderna equaling in percentage from $66 to $90.
But where is the value now? One thing to stay cautious of is the companies running on sheer hype like AstraZeneca (NASDA: AZN) and Novavax (NASDAQ: NVAX). At one point in time, these companies were considered front runners in the space. If their efforts fail to come to fruition, they could be looking at very fast declines in their stock. Novavax gave back 50% of its value over the past three months.
Other companies focused on testing like OPKO Health, Inc. (NYSE: OPK) and Abbott Labs (NYSE: ABT) could also subside as a vaccine would weaken any demand for covid tests.
There is a niche biotech company called PetVivo, Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: PETV). They are an emerging biomedical device company focused on the commercialization of innovative medical therapeutics for pets. PetVivo is benefiting from trials on the human side with a lower barrier to approval for pets.

PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: PETV) also recently announced that a company out of Orlando, Florida called nScrypt that designs and manufactures high-precision industrial Micro-dispensing and Direct Digital Manufacturing equipment, has just successfully 3D bio-printed PetVivo’s (OTCQB: PETV) biomaterial for orthopedic implants using its Bio-Fabrication Tool (BAT). To the best of the company’s knowledge, there is no other company that has the ability to provide these life-based components for the 3D printing marketplace.
The applications and cures for this technology are endless. Implants, replacements, up until and including the present, have been made with foreign ingredients like titanium and other metals. The future of this science now lies with the technology that allows for a more biologically familiar biomaterial. PetVivo’s biomaterial is made from the same components as the body’s natural tissue, allowing cells to be added to the structures being printed.
Ultimately, this breakthrough could lead to the creation of implants that actually mimic the bone itself.
Currently PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: PETV) has only 24 million shares outstanding and a market cap of $40 million.
