A couple of months ago I recommended STAAR Surgical Company ( $STAA ), it’s now up 55%+ since. That work was heavily facilitated by the clarity of the thesis, in part shaped by Broadwood Capital, so I dug deeper into them. What stands out is their pattern. Highly concentrated bets held through long periods of doubt. Look at Monster Beverage ( $MNST) and Axon Enterprise ( $AXON). Both required patience and delivered monstrous returns in the thousands of percentages. Not obvious winners early, just misunderstood situations that needed time.
That pattern led me to $IMDX.
Broadwood owns roughly 40% and has recently started adding aggressively again, almost weekly. Their average cost is well above the current market price, which makes this accumulation particularly notable.
At first glance, $IMDX looks like a broken small cap biotech. That’s because it was. The old oncology strategy failed, followed by cash burn, dilution, and a full reset. What exists today is a focused company targeting a very real problem, transplant rejection.
Right now, patients are monitored with biopsies. Invasive, painful, infrequent. $IMDX replaces that with a blood test that detects rejection early by measuring donor DNA. This isn’t theoretical, the science works. The real question is distribution.
Most competitors rely on centralized labs. $IMDX is building a kit based model that allows hospitals to run the test themselves.
That’s where Bio-Rad Laboratories ( $BIO ) becomes critical.
Bio-Rad is a multi billion dollar company with PCR machines already sitting in labs globally. $IMDX plugs directly into that infrastructure. But more importantly, the relationship is structured. Bio-Rad is an equity holder, initially structured around ~9.99% ownership. They have participated in financings and have contractual rights tied to commercialization.
The existing Bio-Rad agreement positions them as a natural source of additional capital post-approval, with a clear pathway to increase their ownership, and potentially evolve into a broader strategic outcome, including a buyout, if commercialization is successful.
$BIO benefits from every test run.
That alignment matters.
This is not a typical microcap that needs to scramble for capital post approval. There is already a strategic partner embedded in the cap table with both incentive and optionality to go bigger.
The most recent capital raise was about $26M at $5.75 per share in February 2026. That is a strong reference point for where informed capital stepped in, we are currently ~ $4.
The stock was roughly double a couple of months ago, driven by anticipation around FDA progress and growing awareness of the transplant diagnostics space. Then reality set in. Time passed, capital was raised, dilution came in, and the stock pulled back. Not because the thesis broke, but because execution takes time and funding.
Now we are back at the interesting part.
$IMDX is approaching a major catalyst, with Phase 3 and FDA related outcomes expected in less than 150 days. The probability of approval is relatively high because this is a diagnostic built on validated biology, making outcomes more predictable than traditional biotech drugs.
So what you have here is a reset company, a real medical need, a scalable distribution model, a strategic partner with embedded upside optionality, and a fund with a history of multi thousand percent winners owning roughly 40% and adding again at current levels.
This is not a clean story. It is a transition.
If it works, it can be a 3 to 10x. This will be nothing new for Broadwood.
