Well friends, Hoth Therapeutics just had their own “I am the one who knocks” moment in the biotech world (except, unlike Breaking Bad…it’s totally legal and actually helping people). Shares of the micro-cap biotech company (ticker: HOTH) skyrocketed 215% on Tuesday, proving once again that all it takes to send retail investors into a frenzy is a little good news—and by “a little,” I mean 100% success rate in a Phase 2a clinical trial. Yeah, they actually nailed it.

Meaning, if Hoth hasn’t been on your radar before, this company’s cancer therapy, HT-001, just flipped the entire scope of Wall Street on its head. In short, The trial, testing the topical gel’s ability to combat skin toxicities caused by cancer treatments, crushed its primary efficacy endpoint. Picture this: every single patient in the study showed significant improvement in their skin issues within six weeks. No side effects. No caveats. Just pure, uncut biotech glory.
The moat here is that HT-001 is designed to treat skin toxicities caused by epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRi)—a key component in many cancer treatments. These toxicities include everything from redness and peeling to itching and pain, making life miserable for patients already battling cancer. Hoth’s gel doesn’t just soothe these symptoms; it could allow patients to stick with their life-saving cancer regimens without interruption.

Naturally this news sent trading volume into orbit—665 times its daily average. Retail traders stampeded like they’d just been handed free AMC shares, pushing Hoth to claim the title of Tuesday’s biggest gainer across all U.S. exchanges. Meanwhile, analysts chimed in, with D. Boral Capital reiterating a “Buy” rating and a $5 price target, implying the stock could nearly double from these already mind-bending levels.
What’s more is that Hoth’s CEO, Robb Knie, wasn’t shy about hyping up the trial results, calling them a “significant milestone” for cancer treatment. Translation: “We’re one step closer to being the biotech equivalent of the iPhone launch.” Knie emphasized that the gel isn’t just a game-changer for patients—it’s a potential savior for oncologists trying to keep their treatment plans on track.

And let’s not forget the bigger picture. Hoth is angling to be more than a one-hit wonder. Its pipeline includes therapies for everything from eczema and psoriasis to Alzheimer’s disease. But for now, it’s clear HT-001 is the flagship product and it’s carrying the team on its friggin’ back.
In addition to yesterday’s chaos, the retail crowd couldn’t resist piling into the action. Stocktwits lit up with bullish commentary, with one user boldly predicting a surge to $10 and urging everyone to buy before it’s “too late.” (Spoiler: It’s probably already too late, but hey, optimism is free.) Hoth’s stock has already gained nearly 80% over the past year, but Tuesday’s rally was a whole different beast.

Now of course, there are some skeptics here. Haters are saying "iT's jUsT a PhAsE 2 tRiAL" or "but they don't even make money yet!" (To which I say: Neither did Amazon for like a decade, and look how that turned out for Bezos' bank account). But regardless, the trial’s success positions Hoth to attract serious attention from big pharma players in the oncology and dermatology sectors. Meaning If HT-001 keeps delivering results like this, don’t be surprised if a deep-pocketed giant comes knocking with a buyout offer.
In the end, Hoth Therapeutics just delivered the kind of clinical trial results that biotech investors dream about. A 100% success rate? No side effects? That’s the sort of thing that turns a micro-cap stock into a market sensation overnight.

Plus, with zero debt and a treatment that works better than your mom's chicken soup, this might be one of those rare times when the Reddit army and Wall Street suits are actually on the same page. Now obviously do what you will with this information and please do your due diligence. Because while Hoth is basking in the spotlight right now, only time will tell if this meteoric rise is sustainable or not.
In the meantime, place your bets accordingly friends and stay safe and stay frosty! Until next time…
