==Hycroft Mining (HYMC): 6-year performance

Hycroft is a U.S.-based gold and silver exploration and development company focused on its large open-pit Hycroft Mine in northern Nevada.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: HYMC) went public via a SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) process.

  • SPAC IPO (as Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation): Priced around February 7–12, 2018. It raised approximately $200 million by offering units (including overallotment) at $10.00 per unit. The SPAC was formed by distressed-debt investor Jason Mudrick to target post-bankruptcy businesses.
  • Business combination / de-SPAC: Completed on May 29, 2020, with Hycroft Mining. The combined company began trading as Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation under the ticker HYMC on the Nasdaq on Mon 1June 20.

Apnimed (APMD) began trading on the Nasdaq on Fri 31 Jul 26

Sector: Pharmaceutical industry
Employees 65
Founded by Lawrence G. Miller, Barry Wohl and Luigi Taranto Montemurro in 2017 
Headquartered in Cambridge, MA
Website apnimed.com
Apnimed opened at $22 after pricing IPO at $16/share 
 

  • Apnimed (APMD) is off to a successful public-market debut, with its upsized 12.0 mln share IPO pricing at $16 -- the top of its $14--$16 range -- before opening at $22 for a 38% gain, signaling strong investor demand for the late-stage sleep-medicine developer.
  • The biopharmaceutical company is developing oral therapies for sleep-related breathing disorders, led by Oxnimbi, also known as AD109, a once-nightly combination drug designed to improve upper-airway muscle activity and prevent airway collapse in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
  • APMD's primary end market is the large OSA population, where current treatment is dominated by devices such as CPAP, giving a convenient oral therapy the potential to expand diagnosis, treatment adoption, and patient compliance if approved.
  • The company submitted an NDA for Oxnimbi in April 2026 following positive Phase 3 trials, and the FDA accepted the application for review in July, making regulatory approval and commercialization the central near-term catalysts for the story.
  • For the three months ended March 31, 2026, APMD reported $84.8 mln of related-party revenue, up sharply from $3.1 mln a year earlier, while income from operations swung to $68.0 mln from a $27.1 mln loss.
  • That financial improvement should be viewed cautiously, however, because the revenue was tied primarily to licensing, know-how, and research-service arrangements with its SASS joint venture rather than recurring commercial product sales, meaning the IPO's longer-term success will ultimately depend on Oxnimbi's approval, launch execution, reimbursement, and physician and patient adoption.
