Minot Light Capital Partners stated the following regarding Rockwell Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:RMTI) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:

"Rockwell Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:RMTI) is another example of a type of stock that has generated good returns for Minot Light over the past 18 months. It encompasses three characteristics that provide us with a unique opportunity in areas where most institutional small-cap managers cannot or will not participate. These three characteristics are: 1. A sub-$50M market cap / sub-$25M enterprise value (market cap minus net cash on the balance sheet), 2. A stock that falls below $1.00/share, and 3. A company that announces a reverse stock split to make sure the stock goes back up above $1.00/share to ensure it is not de-listed.

When some combination of these three things comes together, we are often able to purchase a relatively healthy company with a reasonable growth outlook at or below its net cash value on the balance sheet. In previous letters we have spoken about both Outset Medical (OM) and MaxCyte (MXCT), both of which were companies where we were able to purchase shares below net cash on the balance sheet, despite core businesses with several attractive characteristics. We will admit, these can be some of the most frustrating stocks to own in the near-term, but over time, as we have been able to lower our average cost on both names, they have made us money and eventually contributed nicely to partnership returns. In our view, Rockwell is at least as attractive as OM and MXCT were at their lows, and potentially more so, simply because it should now be sustainably cash flow positive going forward, whereas OM and MXCT are still burning cash."
