Petros Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: PTPI)
Petros Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a biotech business based in the United States that develops men’s health treatments. Petros is focused on the commercialization and development of Stendra. Stendra is a prescription drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, the company commercializes and develops H100 for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease. Right now, there is a sizable amount of momentum with biotech penny stocks. This is the result of a major focus on the industry due to the pandemic. While Petros does not manufacture a Covid-related treatment or cure, the company is a decent-sized player in the biotech market.
The corporation released its third-quarter financial results for 2021 on November 15th. STENDRA prescription and tablet sales reached new highs throughout this period. Its total STENDRA mg sales grew by 6% year on year in this quarter. Despite these encouraging results, Petros reported reduced net sales year over year.
“Petros continued its momentum during the third quarter with the number of prescriptions and tablets hitting record levels. The demand for STENDRA® continues to be strong with total milligrams sold (total milligrams of all tablets sold, including 50mg, 100mg, and 200mg) increasing 6% over the prior quarter.”
President and CCO of Petros, Fady Boctor
In other recent news, the company just closed a $10 million offering. The proceeds of the net offering are expected to be used to expand its men’s health platform, and for working capital and corporate purposes. From November 22nd to November 29th, shares of PTPI stock skyrocketed by over 200%. Although it has corrected since then, there’s no doubting the popularity that the company received as a result. Noting these recent advancements, will PTPI be on your list of penny stocks to watch?

On November 16th, the company reported an overview of its latest clinical research. This report included research evaluating VASCEPA/VAZKEPA and eicosapentaenoic acid. The report was presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2021. VASCEPA / VAZKEPA was found in prespecified and post hoc analyses to reduce total ischemic events by 32% in patients that had prior PAD. This is highly positive data and could be good news for the company moving forward.
“We are committed to serving patients with cardiovascular (CV) disease and the data presented at this year’s AHA annual meeting provide further evidence of the CV benefits of VASCEPA/ VAZKEPA in specified high-risk patients, potentially including those with peripheral artery disease”.
The President and CEO of Amarin, Karim Mikhail

This 7.4% increase was very good for uCloudlink’s business. uCloudlink Group also managed to lower its loss from operations year over year as well.

“We continued to demonstrate commercial resilience and business vitality in the third quarter of 2021 despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19, generating revenue of US$19.3 million, with a 7.4% increase from the third quarter of 2020. The increase in our total revenues is a strong indication that UCLOUDLINK is well-positioned to grow in the short-term due to our continuous efforts in expanding our platform-centric business, and in the long term as we believe that international travel restrictions will be lifted in the future.”
CEO and Director of uCloudlink, Chaohui Chen
In addition to the heavy focus on biotech penny stocks, there is also a major emphasis on the tech industry as well. While this may not be the only reason that UCL is rising right now, it’s likely a contributing factor. Whether this makes UCL stock worth adding to your penny stocks watchlist or not is up to you.
