Key Points Amarin has one drug, and it has lost key patent protections. The company is cutting costs in an effort to generate positive cash flow. 10 stocks we like better than Amarin Plc › Amarin (NASDAQ: AMRN) is a drug company that is in a particularly precarious position. This fact is highlighted by the company's recent move to restructure its operations in an effort to cut costs. And Vascepa, the one drug it has to sell, is already facing generic competition in the United States. Most investors would be better off with a larger drug company. Amarin has some positives to offer Perhaps the most positive thing about Amarin is its balance sheet. The company is carrying no long-term debt, has a cash balance of nearly $135 million, and owns short-term investments worth just under $168 million. In short, it is in a very strong financial position and can likely sustain its business for years to come. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Meanwhile, despite the headwinds Vascepa faces in the U.S. market, it is a revenue-generating product. In 2025, Amarin had product sales of nearly $183 million. And a restructuring effort in 2025 has helped the company reduce costs. Management believes the restructuring will help it to generate positive free cash flow in 2026. A pharmaceutical company with no debt and positive free cash flow would normally be hard to complain about. I still wouldn't touch Amarin with a 10-foot pole For the most part, the good news ends there. The big risk is that the company's sales stood at $285 million two years ago. So there's been a material decline on the top line. The fact that its only drug has faced generic competition in the U.S. market has a lot to do with the revenue decline. With no other product to lean on, Amarin has little choice but to pull back on spending o...

Edward Chaidez/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The last time I wrote about Grocery Outlet ( GO ), I explained that it was a potential turnaround stock. Now, it sounds like its turnaround plan has run into some setbacks. Grocery Outlet decided to move away from its treasure-hunt model and become more like a regular discount grocery store. In my previous article, I said that this was a risk factor and the company risked damaging its brand if it did this. It now looks like Grocery Outlet’s customers might not have liked its recent changes. Grocery Outlet did report double-digit revenue growth in the fourth quarter , but that was mostly because of the extra week in 2025. Its total revenue rose 10.7% to $1.22 billion for the quarter, but same-store sales were down 0.8%. Meanwhile, traffic was up 0.9%. So, it sounds like Grocery Outlet’s customers are trying to conserve their money right now, which isn’t surprising. Right now, other grocery stores are also saying that their customers are now making more trips to the store, but buying fewer products on each trip. But Grocery Outlet also reported an operating loss of $234.8 million for the quarter. This setup creates a potential opportunity for value investors who can look past the company’s poor GAAP results. Grocery Outlet’s operating loss includes non-cash impairment losses. But the reason for these impairment losses is that Grocery Outlet is writing off the value of many franchised grocery stores that it plans to close. These store closures aren’t a good sign, so this stock could be a value trap. But Grocery Outlet could also make changes to its turnaround plan and recover. It sounds like its management team knows that the company made some mistakes recently. Grocery Outlet Is Bringing Back More Treasure-Hunt Groceries Bears think that Grocery Outlet might not be able to buy the inventory it needs in the future. Grocery Outlet needs to be able to buy groceries for very large discounts from food manufacturers to make i...
