Adding Aditxt (ADTX) to the upcoming “2022 Biotech 6-Pack, Stocks We Expect to Double” Watch List.
We’re sitting in a hotel room in Chicago minding our own business – then as has happened nearly every year since 1987 when we first started hunting for ‘indiscriminate’ tax-loss candidates the last week of the year – BOOM – Aditxt gets banged and but good. And with enough volume for speculators to grab a meaningful stake. 7 million shares traded so far.
Yes, it’s a weird name, but we saw their presentation at an investor conference and loved what we heard. Then we had lunch with the CEO Amro Albanna the next day, and loved it even more.
Something though told us to wait.
REDDITT TRADERS FIND IT
Last fall, due to a couple CVID related stories, the company lost all control of its shareholder base, and it was a sight to see. Like 36 foxes in a chicken coup with 13 chickens. Feathers everywhere!

Aditx Therapeutics, Inc. (Aditxt) Announces Pricing of Initial Public Offering (June 2020 $9.00).
So, what was all the hubbub about?
Well, it’s a real long story, but they have a working test called AditxtScore™ which can tell you what level of immunity you have. So, if your debating getting a booster shot, the test can say – hurry get the booster or nah – just take your chances. We think it should be called ImmunityScore – but that’s neither here nor there.
AditxtScore™ offers a significant view of the immune system in a single test, rather than the current method of relying on multiple tests that lack insights into long-term immunity. The platform can also identify cellular responses, including determination of T cell activation, cytokine production, and B cell receptors (indicative of memory cells).
They have a lot of other early-stage shots on goal. including an oral antiviral drug targeting COVID-19 -which attracted the traders. But we think a successful roll-out of the immunity test has the most potential, near term.
So, what’s the gig?
If everything goes wrong, we have $0.55 downside (aka 100%). If everything goes right and a great number of consumers hear about and then buy the inexpensive test to understand their level of immunity against Covid and other nasties? We think $5.50* or ten-fold higher. And that ain’t a bad risk/reward ratio.
They recently raised $17 million – at higher prices of course.
One Wall Street firm covering, with a $6.00 price target.
Not a trade, we think this needs two years to fully flower!
Now before we say anything else, past performance is NO guarantee or even indication of future performance — but DANG we did good with the.

SHORT TERM CHART
MOST RECENT UPDATE WITH $6.OO PRICE TARGET
“Aditxt has been busy. The company is acquiring a “point of care” rapid diagnostic for Covid (as well as other indications). We see this as complementary to the recent AiPharma acquisition, which provides access to a Covid anti-viral.”
“This coupled with the recent raise ($17M) strengthens the company’s balance sheet and in total positions Aditxt as a one-stop provider from point of care, immune score, and therapeutic intervention. We have adjusted our model for the raise (reflecting the increased number of shares) and we include risk-adjusted revenues for point of care testing and a Covid Therapeutic. The net effect is our price target now rises, from $4.00 to $6.00.“
