Why did T2 Biosystems stock jump?

There was no news to explain the TTOO stock surge on Tuesday. A likely reason is that the stock rose because of the ongoing bull run in Wall Street. Key indices like the Dow Jones and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rose to record highs on Tuesday. In most cases, many small-cap stocks tend to rise when the broader indices are in an uptrend.

The other likely reason is that the stock went through a short-squeeze. Besides, it is still a heavily-shorted stock, with over 7% of its outstanding shares being held by short-sellers. These squeezes have become relatively common now that the Federal Reserve has pointed that it will start cutting rates in 2024.

T2 Biosystems fundamentals are still weak. According to its most recent 10Q statement, its revenue continued crashing this year as demand for its Covid-19 products evaporated. Its quarterly revenues plunged from $3.6 million in Q3’22 to $1.47 million in Q3’23. Its nine-month revenue dropped to $5.5 million from $16.8 million.

Its losses also soared during the same periods. The quarterly net loss soared to more than $15 million. Therefore, these numbers mean that the company will likely continue deteriorating barring any major development.

Most importantly, T2 BioSystems will likely need more cash soon. It ended the quarter with over $24 million in cash. Most of these funds came from an equity raise through an ATM sale in the third-quarter. These funds will likely run out in 2024 if the company’s losses continue.

T2 Biosystems outlook is still dire. The management anticipated that its Q4 revenue will crash by over 60% to about $2.1 million. While it has received an FDA approval for its T2Biothreat Panel, it is unclear whether it will start monetizing it soon.
