Midwood Capital Management explained recent Recro Pharma(NASDAQ:REPH) stock price fluctuations in its Q1 2019 Investor Letter. If you are interested you can find a copy of the letter here. The fund also disclosed the quarterly return of 10.6%, and an annualized return since inception of 9.5%.
“Recro Pharma, Inc. (REPH; $8.36; $184million market cap): We highlighted REPH in our Fourth Quarter 2018 Letter to Investors–when the stock was at $7.91 –believing that one key catalyst would be FDA approval of REPH’s new drug application for Intravenous Meloxicam(IVM), a non-opioid drug for moderate to severe acute pain. REPH had a PDUFA date for completion of the FDA’s review by March 26, 2019. Our analysis indicated that the probability of IVM’s approval was high. Unfortunately, however, REPH received a second Complete Response Letter on March 22 indicating that the FDA would not approve its NDA in its present form. The stock, which had crept up to $9.72 prior to the announcement, fell as much as 43%. However, management has already taken actions that reinforce our belief –and the market’s –that the company will maximize value for shareholders by curtailing its acute care drug development program and monetizing its valuable CDMO business. These positive developments have caused the stock to recover from the mid-$5s. REPH dragged on the Fund’s performance by 74 bps in the first quarter”
Recro Pharma, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company with a market cap of $193.74 million. Year-to-date, the company’s stock gained 18.89%, and on May 7th it had a closing price of $8.81.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.
Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.
At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.
Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.
Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:
175 Teslas
107 Amazons
140 Metas
84 Googles
65 Microsofts
And 55 Nvidias
And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.
It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.
Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.
How could anything be worth that much?
The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.
And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.
What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.
In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.
Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.
Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.
When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.
Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…
But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.
And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…
