Fun facts about LIFECORE BIOMEDICAL, INC. \DE\

Quirks, history, and lore behind LFCR — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

  • 1
    The Basics
    U.S. healthcare company · small-cap · listed on Nasdaq · headquartered in Minnesota.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    Annual revenue in the range of roughly $100 million, with a business model built almost entirely around a single specialty molecule and the sterile manufacturing around it.
  • 3
    The History
    The company has roots going back decades in fermentation and bioprocessing, eventually sharpening its focus to become a pure-play contract development and manufacturing operation.
  • 4
    The Secret
    Its secret weapon is hyaluronic acid — a gooey biopolymer used in everything from eye surgery to injectable orthopedics — and it's one of the few U.S. producers that can make it at pharmaceutical grade.
  • 5
    The Lore
    It spun off its food ingredient business to double down on biopharma CDMO services, betting that being the quiet supplier behind the syringe is more valuable than being the brand on the label.
  • 6

    If your knee injection or cataract surgery used pharmaceutical-grade hyaluronic acid made in Chaska, Minnesota, this little Nasdaq CDMO probably filled that vial.
