Good Morning Traders!!
We are back and heading into 2025 with a HUGE BANG!!! Hope you guys enjoyed the holidays and now it's time to get back to action..
2024 was a MASSIVE year for us all! We had some INSANE winners and we want to keep it going so it's only fitting that this 1 company is our first alert of 2025!
Traders turn your attention to (OTC:BSEM)!
We should remind you that BSEM may not be on the OTC for much longer.. The company filed their Form 10 and have been awaiting for the process to up list on the NASDAQ. Once the approval takes place it's only a matter of time before the uplist is complete..
Before we get into the the chart on BSEM one thing you should know about stocks that trade on the OTC is that institutions don't typically invest in these companies..What does that mean for Biostem? Most of the volume and upside has been from retail investors.. So what happens when this stock does uplist? Well not only will retail investors be buying it but so will institutional investors. Supply and demand.. Of course anything can happen but with more buying coming in theoretically the price should go up…
Food for thought.
BSEM has been a rockstar of an alert for us and the company has been far exceeding our expectations. If their sales numbers keep consistent then in 2024 they would of done around 250 million in Reveue.. Their current market cap is 228 million. A biotech on a senior exchange that trades with a negative multiple isn't normal at all in fact it's INSANE!!!!
With this recent pull back you have to be asking yourself these 2 questions is (OTC:BSEM) undervalued and what happens when more buying comes in When and if they uplist?
The 1 month technicals on tradingview.com put this at a buy and the 6 month chart on this little beauty is painting a very interesting picture
But the numbers fro Biostem are taking center stage and we have our 100% attention on (OTC:BSEM)
**BSEM** Get Ready Humans!!
BIOSTEM TECHNOLOGIES INC. : AN EMERGING COMPANY IN THE MEDTECH SPACE HAS SEEN RECORD REVENUES IN 2024 AND NOW CARRIES A $32.50 ZACKS PRICE TARGET!
The MedTech sector is often overlooked but is just as innovative as many of the top tech names. Two massive multi-billion-dollar markets for its regenerative therapies has positioned BioStem Technologies Inc. (OTC: BSEM) as one of the top medtech stocks to keep an eye on!
2023 was a pivotal year for BSEM and 2024 is proving to be the same with record revenues. The last couple of years of success have established a solid foundation for the company's future expansion, which now includes a potential uplisting to a senior stock exchange!
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 BSEM who have successfully navigated the regulatory process (a real barrier to entry) and show real growth.
BioStem Technologies, Inc. is growing fast, with record revenue and profitability in 2024!
BioStem Technologies Reports Record Third Quarter 2024 Revenue of $82.6 Million!!
- Company reports third sequential quarter of record growth, contributing to a record total of $199.0 million in revenue for the first nine-months of 2024
- Achieves third consecutive quarter of positive GAAP net income of $6.8 million or $0.42 per share
- Generated Q3 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $9.9 million
The company has continued to release positive news throughout the quarter including study results….
BSEM released study results that showed the company's signature technology, BioREtain, showed superior performance over the traditional standard of care.
According to the company, in this study, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of a sterile, dehydrated amnion/chorion membrane processed using a proprietary method (BioREtain-AC) compared to a cohort of patients treated with standard of care measures in healing hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers in a real-world environment. A total of 21 subjects met the study's inclusion criteria, which included factors such as wound type, medical history, and previous treatment involving the BioREtain-AC placental membrane product. The wounds in the study were considerably larger than those typically included in randomized controlled trials, averaging nearly 14 cm², compared to an average wound size of about 5 cm² in most trials.
The study demonstrated that patients treated with BioREtain experienced an 8.53% higher probability of achieving full wound closure compared to the standard of care group after 12 weeks. For those wounds that did not achieve complete closure, the BioREtain group still showed a 93.6% improvement in expected area reduction, while the standard of care group stalled or grew larger.
"I'm pleased to report that BioStem has achieved another major milestone with our third consecutive quarter of record growth. In Q3 2024, we posted revenue of $82.6 million for the quarter, totaling $199 million for the first nine-months of 2024. Our strong financial performance is a direct result of the continued success of our AmnioWrap2® allografts using our patented BioREtain® technology, which is driving increased commercial acceptance across a wide range of non-acute sites of service. I'd like to acknowledge both the BioStem and Venture team for their exceptional dedication and effort in achieving these impressive results."
- Jason Matuszewski, CEO of BioStem

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.

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 Substantial 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 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!

Two Big Markets
Perinatal tissue allografts have been successfully used since the early 1900's as an alternative modality for the treatment for chronic wounds.
More recently physicians have used these products to treat ocular surface disorders, chronic non-healing diabetic wounds, and in a variety of surgical procedures.
The market for products BSEM has developed and is continuing to develop is extensive and this cutting-edge technology can prove to be a game-changer to many patients suffering from painful and slow recoveries.
Both the diabetes wound care market and surgical recovery wound care market are growing at a tremendous rate.
Because diabetes and issues from diabetes are increasing worldwide, this offers an opportunity for BSEM's allografts to help patients.
- The global wound care market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth $20.8 billion in 2022 and is poised to reach $27.2 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2022 to 2027.
- The US advanced wound care market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth 11.2 billion in 2022 and is poised to reach 17.7 billion in 2027 at a compound growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4% from 2022-2027.
- The global diabetic foot ulcer treatment market size was valued at $4.67 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2022 to 2030.
There is promising potential for BSEM to impact patients and expand the company's business in an exponential way as more doctors become familiar with the company's technology!
BREAK THROUGH RESULTS!
Breakthrough results published in the peer-reviewed journal, International Wound Journal. The study validates the clinical efficacy of BioREtain®-processed placental membranes (RE-AC) compared to the standard of care (SOC). Utilizing a real-world population with large, hard-to-heal, complex chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), the study demonstrates a clear advantage in 12-week wound healing rates for the RE-AC-treated group compared to the SOC group.
BSEM released study results that showed the company's signature technology, BioREtain, showed superior performance over the traditional standard of care.
According to the company, in this study, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of a sterile, dehydrated amnion/chorion membrane processed using a proprietary method (BioREtain-AC) compared to a cohort of patients treated with standard of care measures in healing hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers in a real-world environment.

For those wounds that did not achieve complete closure, the BioREtain group still showed a 93.6% improvement in expected area reduction, while the standard of care group stalled or grew larger.
This confirms that BSEM technology is superior and very helpful to patients. More doctors are turning to BioStem for treatments, resulting in increasing sales.
Also likely helping to boost sales was the company's announcement that the Center for Medicare Services has established a national pricing for the company's product Vendaje AC!
CEO Jason Matuszewski notes that, "With CMS's national pricing approval, Vendaje AC is now accessible to more patients across the country."
