These innovations sparked significant stock price growth, particularly for smaller, specialized quantum computing companies.

White Brook Capital: Rapid Micro Biosystems ($RPID) Investment Case
White Brook Capital presents a compelling investment thesis for Rapid Micro Biosystems (RPID), a life sciences technology company that has fallen from its billion-dollar IPO valuation to a current market cap of ~$42mm. The company, which specializes in automated microbial quality control systems for pharmaceutical manufacturing, stands out for its strong market position with major pharmaceutical customers, significant cash reserves, and improving operational metrics. Despite current negative gross margins, White Brook sees substantial upside potential driven by the company’s market leadership in quality control automation, vast untapped market opportunity (only 150 of estimated 10,000 potential system placements), and path to profitability by 2027. With the stock trading at 1.9x LTM revenue while growing over 20% annually, White Brook believes RPID represents an attractive investment opportunity. Read the full article here.
