SBFM stock has a free float of just 6.57 million shares according to Reuters and a market cap of $68 million. This means the stock is very easy to move. For example, on Thursday 106.8 million SBFM shares traded so not far off 20 times the free float. Tesla (TSLA) traded 26.48 million shares on Thursday out of a free float of 843 million shares, so about 3% of the total free float. This makes SBFM all the more frenzied looking and explains the huge move in the stock. This is not a good thing and is unsustainable, so be warned.

This is frenzy pure and simple. Now the press release makes strong claims for the company. Sunshine Biopharma said that two of its mRNA molecules were effective in destroying culture-grown cancer cells. These were breast cancer and pancreatic and ovarian cancer cells. The company said it will apply for patents based on the trial. “The potential use of mRNA to treat cancer opens the door to many possibilities for patients, including convenience, reduced toxicity, and enhanced efficacy,” said Dr. Steve Slilaty, CEO.
Sunshine Biopharma (SBFM) stock: To the moon it goes
Well not so fast, this is a very early stage and highly speculative as are all pharma investments but especially in the micro-cap space. That is not to say some do not turn into home runs. We merely need to cite the example of Moderna (mRNA) which also used mRNA technology, but caution is needed. Once newsflow dries up which will then the stock will likely die down until the next newsflow development.
