Quantum-Si, a protein sequencing platform, offers semiconductor chips designed to enable single-molecule next-generation protein sequencing and genomics and digitize proteomic research in order to advance drug discovery and diagnostics beyond DNA sequencing.
Over the past year, investors have posted confidence in the company’s prospects, as reflected in a 100-percent increase in its 52-week price to $4.10 per share.
Its earnings performance is also beginning to reflect its growth potential, with quarterly revenues soaring by 252.9 percent year-on-year to $787,000 while gross profit similarly rose by 239 percent during the same period.
Just recently, Quantum-Si entered into a series of partnerships with Avantor, for its NGPS portfolio in the US and Canadian markets, and with Planet Innovation to commercialize the Platinum Pro by mid-2025, alongside continued development of the Proteus platform.
Quantum-Si’s unique business as a platform provider rather than a pharmaceutical player positions its stability and scalability. As long as the company maintains consistent revenue growth and strong institutional backing, the company will continue to present a compelling investment opportunity.
Overall QSI ranks 14th on our list of the small-cap stocks poised to outperform in 2025. While we acknowledge the potential of QSI as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter timeframe.
