In the domain of stock trading, opportunities often arise in unexpected places, including stocks priced under $0.10. Despite being often overlooked, these stocks can pack a punch in terms of potential gains, catching the eye of savvy investors.
Let’s take a look at a few notables from last week that could be bound for big activity this week:
Expanding its reach in 2024, HippoFi (OTC: ORHB) and its subsidiary, PUR Biologics, are setting new standards in innovative spine care solutions. In December 2023, HippoFi's wholly-owned subsidiary, PUR Biologics, embarked on a significant expansion in California, advancing its distribution network to broaden access to major medical facilities across the state. This expansion not only underscores the company's commitment to providing high-quality healthcare solutions but also reinforces its leadership in business and scientific innovation.
PUR Biologics specializes in offering a comprehensive suite of best-in-class spinal biologics aimed at regenerating bone, cartilage, and spinal discs. With a growing nationwide network of skilled representatives, PUR Biologics ensures expert coverage across the United States, servicing every hospital and ambulatory surgery center.
In the U.S., the market for instrumented spine surgeries, involving 1.62 million surgeries annually, is estimated to be worth $3.5 billion, experiencing steady growth with a CAGR of 4.5%. CJ Wiggins, HippoFi's Executive Chairman and CEO, emphasizes their rapid ability to gain hospital approvals, deliver innovation, and expand their worldwide sales network to improve patient lives.
In parallel, HippoFi's biotechnology arm, PUR Biologics, commenced selling and shipping products for international use, closing out a remarkable year of achievements. The company's global distribution network, comprising 250 distributors and over 300 sales representatives, has propelled PUR Biologics into a position of authority in spinal biologics, with anticipated significant sales growth in the year ahead.
Furthermore, the recent acquisition of activeOrb technology from ZIMMER BIOMET (NYSE: ZBH) positions HippoFi to capture a larger share of the $3.5 billion bone-growth solutions market, reinforcing its commitment to advancing healthcare technologies.
In a strategic move to enhance its leadership team, HippoFi appointed Dr. Gail Naughton, a world-renowned expert in regenerative therapy, to drive the commercialization plans of its proprietary technologies. Dr. Naughton brings over 35 years of experience in regenerative medicine, having pioneered numerous cell-based products approved by regulatory authorities. Her expertise aligns perfectly with HippoFi's vision of revolutionizing regenerative therapeutics across various medical domains.
The addition of Scott Bauccio as Head of Sales further strengthens PUR Biologics' position in the biologics sector. With 20 years of sales management experience and an extensive industry network, Bauccio is spearheading the expansion of sales and distribution channels for PUR Biologics, securing new products, and reinforcing the company's commitment to innovation and excellence.
These strategic actions in 2024 underscore HippoFi's commitment to leading the industry as the authority in regenerative biologics, poised to address significant unmet needs in the $200 billion osteoarthritis, pain, cartilage, and spinal disc regeneration markets.

Moreover, AgEagle's procurement deal with UT-Battelle, LLC, which manages Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), underscores the company's pivotal role in critical research and security initiatives. The acquisition of eBee X and eBee TAC drones by ORNL highlights AgEagle's commitment to delivering cutting-edge, certified security solutions that make a meaningful impact.
