Immersion Investment Partners stated the following regarding Strata Critical Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRTA) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:

"Strata Critical Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRTA) is a newer holding for the partnership, having been purchased in September 2025. The history surrounding the stock is intriguing to us because it's the abandoned remainco of an overhyped COVID-era SPAC. Strata itself is a leading provider of organ transplant logistics and clinical services, but most investors have never heard of it. The business operated and grew in the shadows as a subsidiary of the former e-mobility company Blade, which came public via a SPAC in late 2020 to significant fanfare and bulge-bracket bank coverage from the likes of JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, CitiGroup, and Credit Suisse. Like many 2020 SPACs, the Blade e-mobility business disappointed and the stock faltered, peaking at $20 in early 2021 and swiftly plunging to $2 by late 2023. In August 2025, the company announced that it was selling its e-mobility, or 'Passenger,' business to Joby, would retain the organ logistics and services business and rebrand to Strata Critical Medical (ticker: SRTA). The transaction closed later that month for $76 million in Joby shares and a $35 million earnout. Most analysts who promoted the stock up until then abandoned the name. We think this is silly because this is exactly when the story gets interesting. What we have today is a high-quality logistics and services asset growing more than 20% organically while operating in an inefficient, fragmented industry, with a cash-rich balance sheet and enormous M&A opportunities ahead of it..."
