A Boring Biotech That’s Too Cheap to Ignore

Trade of the Day Wake-Up Watchlist

"ARDX is cheap, growing and has a commercial catalyst in place for 2026."

One of the trends Bryan and I have been following closely is biotech.

The insider buying activity in this sector is becoming impossible to ignore.

And one stock that keeps coming up on my radar is Ardelyx (ARDX) – a play I recently got positioned on in The War Room.

ARDX has two commercial drugs – IBSRELA for irritable bowel syndrome and ZPHOZAH for chronic kidney disease.

I know, not exactly cocktail party conversation.

But ARDX's fundamentals caught my eye.

Right now, the biotech group is projecting $500 million in sales in the year ahead, driven by the two new drugs in the early stages of a commercial ramp.

It's also making smart commercial moves to drive growth.

This week, ARDX announced a marketing partnership with the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), aiming to raise awareness of irritable bowel syndrome and constipation, a condition that disproportionately affects women.

More awareness means more patients, and more patients means more prescriptions.

Plus, with a market cap of just under $2 billion, ARDX is currently trading at about 4 times sales. That's actually cheap for a young growth company – and here's why that matters.

If You Keep Cash In A U.S. Bank Account… Read This NOW

The Treasury Department just issued a stunning warning:

U.S. banks could lose up to $6.6 trillion of customer deposits as Americans rush into a new form of money.

That’s just been authorized under President Trump’s highly controversial new law, S.1582.

If you have any cash in a checking or savings account… this could affect you directly.

Go here now for details, while you still have time to get ahead of it.

When large pharma companies acquire smaller biotechs, they typically pay premiums of 10x sales or more.

That's the kind of upside I look for.

And perhaps the strongest signal – insiders are buying.

Last week, company chairman David M. Mott bought 333,333 shares of the company for an estimated $1,946,331.

Any time a high-ranking official puts nearly $2 million of his own money on the table – I take notice.

I'll be diving deeper into more insider buy activity in this afternoon's Trade of the Day issue – stay tuned.

Action Plan: Biotech is one of our highest-conviction sectors for 2026, and ARDX is just one piece of the puzzle.

From 1973-1980, Jim Rogers' Quantum Fund delivered a staggering 4,200% return during one of the most powerful commodity cycles in history.

We're now seeing conditions that closely resemble that same setup in gold - and traders who recognize it early could have multiple asymmetric opportunities ahead.
