Biotech Upside Alert:
Vyome Holdings, Inc’s. (Nasdaq: HIND) Lead Drug Valued at $1 Billion…And They’ve Just Locked in Phase 3 Funding
Last week, Vyome Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIND) dropped two pieces of significant news that have this small-cap biotech looking seriously undervalued.
Here’s what happened:
An independent analyst just valued Vyome’s lead drug at $1 billion. Destum Partners, a respected life sciences advisory firm, conducted a rigorous U.S. market assessment and concluded that VT-1953, which is Vyome’s breakthrough treatment for malignant fungating wounds, could be worth nearly $1 billion upon Phase 3 completion, with peak annual sales approaching $600 million.
Even now, at the Phase 2 stage, the analysis pegs VT-1953’s current value at $455 million.
And the total addressable U.S. market? $2.2 billion…for a condition with zero FDA-approved treatments.
In addition, the company has locked in its Phase 3 funding…on shareholder-friendly terms. Vyome Holdings has raised the capital it needs to fund interim Phase 3 results through its existing ATM facility, with just 15% dilution and no warrants attached.
According to CEO Venkat Nelabhotla, Vyome turned down multiple investment banks offering larger blocks of capital with strings attached. Instead, management sourced what they called “the absolute lowest cost of capital” to protect existing shareholders.
Here’s why this is such a massive development:
Vyome is now fully funded through interim Phase 3 results expected mid-2027. That means multiple potential catalysts ahead, including trial milestones, data readouts, possible orphan drug designation…all without the overhang of dilutive financing.
And here’s the kicker: despite a third-party valuation suggesting the lead drug alone could be worth $455 million today, Vyome’s entire market cap sits well below that figure. In fact the company right now appears to be significantly undervalued at a market cap of under US$12 million.
This appears to be a unique, high-upside opportunity for fast-moving investors. Vyome Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIND) just got independent validation that its lead drug could be a billion-dollar asset…and management has secured funding without sacrificing shareholder value.

As Berkshire Exits Its Kraft Heinz Position, Is the Stock a Sell?
Submitted by Jordan Chussler. Article Published: 1/27/2026.
What You Need to Know
- Newly entrenched Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel has decided to share the company’s 28% stake in consumer staples giant Kraft Heinz.
- The move comes after shares of KHC, which are down more than 3% year-to-date, lost 21% in 2025.
- Kraft Heinz has seen top-line contraction for eight consecutive quarters, resulting in analysts assigning the stock a consensus Reduce rating.
Last week, it was reported that newly appointed Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B) CEO Greg Abel has initiated the process to sell the company’s nearly 28% stake—or approximately 325 million shares—in consumer staples giant Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ: KHC).
The move, which occurred less than one month after Abel took the reins from Warren Buffett, comes after KHC shares opened the year with a drop of more than 3%, following a 2025 performance that saw the stock slide by more than 21%.

But for income investors whose dividend portfolios have relied on the company’s high yield for years, does Berkshire’s move—which marks the end of a 10-year position—make Kraft Heinz an automatic sell?
The Root of Kraft Heinz’s Issues
Strictly from an earnings perspective, KHC has generally delivered: the last time the company missed earnings expectations was Q4 2018. But earnings alone do not equal profitability.
Although bookended by profitable quarters in 2025, Kraft Heinz reported a loss of more than $7.8 billion in Q2. That loss was tied to a $9.3 billion non-cash impairment chargeand weaker sales driven by persistent inflation.
The company, whose roots date back to 1869 (Heinz) and 1903 (Kraft), has relied on aggressive cost-cutting measures for years, including the controversial zero-based budgeting strategy. A decade after the Kraft-Heinz merger, the food conglomerate still struggles to shed the debt incurred in that deal.
To put that challenge in perspective: as of Q3 2025, Kraft Heinz carried more than $19 billion in long-term debt versus a cash position of $2.1 billion.
At the same time, a weak labor market, shifting consumer confidence, and ongoing U.S. dollar devaluation have pushed cost-conscious shoppers away from branded products and toward private-label (store brand) alternatives.
Can KHC Reverse Course?
In September 2025, Kraft Heinz announcedplans to split into two scaled, independent companies. The division—tentatively named Global Taste Elevation Co. and North American Grocery Co.—is expected to be finalized in the second half of 2026.
The idea is to create two more focused businesses: Global Taste Elevation will emphasize sauces and condiments, while North American Grocery will concentrate on meals and snacks.
The plan has its critics, chief among them Warren Buffett, who objected to aspects of the split, particularly that it will not be subject to a shareholder vote.
Long term, the two publicly traded companies may find relief from issues that have plagued Kraft Heinz since the merger. But in the near term, a turnaround does not appear imminent.
While the company does not report full-year and Q4 2025 results until Feb. 11, it would not be surprising to see quarterly revenue contract for a ninth straight quarter. KHC’s negative net margin of 17.35% indicates the company is currently spending more than it earns.
Meanwhile, a dividend payout ratio of nearly -43% shows the company is not generating enough earnings to cover its dividend payments, which raises the risk of future cuts. Kraft Heinz’s dividend currently yields 6.59%, or $1.60 per share annually, but income investors should be prepared for that yield to be reduced.
What Wall Street Thinks About Kraft Heinz?
Sentiment on Kraft Heinz is tepid. Of 23 analysts covering the stock, one rates it a Buy, 17 rate it a Hold, and five rate it a Sell. Overall, KHC receives a consensus Reduce rating.
The average 12-month price target for KHC is $26.16, implying just over 11% potential upside from current levels. The company scores lower than one-third of MarketBeat’s evaluated companies and ranks 73rd out of 149 stocks in the consumer staples sector. Compounding matters, Kraft Heinz’s financial health has been in the Red Zone, according to Tradesmith, for more than 19 months.
Institutional ownership remains above 78%, but that will likely fall once Berkshire Hathaway completes its sale. Current short interest of 4.37% suggests bearish investors are watching Kraft Heinz for further downside in the year ahead.
