Randy Kirk“Madna you know had a double almost a triple on their stock and could go even higher right that being able to win on AI applied to medicine healthcare is going to be I think a huge ahead of the actual development.”
Thesis at the time
BullishThe hosts discuss Moderna's mRNA cancer treatment breakthrough that reduced high-risk cancer recurrence, noting the stock roughly doubled to tripled on the news. They frame this as the start of a broader 'ChatGPT moment' for AI applied to medicine that could pull in massive R&D investment from big pharma.
Key arguments
- Moderna's phase 3 trial showed a significant reduction in high-risk cancer recurrence using personalized mRNA treatment
- The stock roughly doubled/tripled on the announcement, implying a jump from a $50B to $100-120B market cap
- AI applied to medicine (imaging, biomarkers, drug design) could trigger a 'gold rush' and accelerate cures beyond current timelines
- Big pharma players like Roche/Genentech and Eli Lilly are only using a small fraction of available AI compute so far, implying room for growth
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- The treatment reduces cancer recurrence risk rather than being an outright 'cure'
- Current compute usage by big pharma is still tiny relative to AI infrastructure, so gains may take time to materialize
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Treatment reduces recurrence risk by 49%, not a cure
- Results based on high-risk population, not general population
- Clinical trials took 5+ years to complete
- Further improvements and applications still being developed
- Host explicitly states he was not in the stock before the announcement
