NexGel, Inc. Hits New 52-Week Low at $1.88 Amid Financial Struggles

NexGel, Inc., a microcap company in the specialty chemicals industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 1.88 on November 13, 2025. This decline reflects a challenging year for the company, with a one-year performance of -12.04%, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's gain of 14.49%.
Despite recent positive results, including a significant 100.28% growth in net sales for the quarter ending June 25, NexGel has faced ongoing operational difficulties. The company has reported operating losses and a negative EBITDA, indicating financial strain. Its return on equity stands at -63.86%, and the price-to-book ratio is 5.06, suggesting that the stock may be trading at a premium relative to its book value.

NexGel's market capitalization is approximately USD 24 million, and it has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.04, indicating a low level of debt. However, the company's ability to service its debt remains weak, as evidenced by a poor EBIT to interest ratio of -2.74. Institutional investors have slightly increased their stake in the company, now holding 12.09% of shares, which may reflect a cautious optimism about its long-term prospects.
