Siga Technologies (SIGA) appears to have found support after losing some value lately, as indicated by the formation of a hammer chart. In addition to this technical chart pattern, strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in revising earnings estimates higher enhances the stock's potential for a turnaround in the near term.

SIGA Technologies, Inc.'s reliance on TPOXX, coupled with mixed clinical trial results, and the need to renew the contract with the U.S. in 2025, shed doubts about Siga's long-term outlook. Emergent BioSolutions Inc.'s diversified product portfolio and turnaround strategy under new CEO Joseph Papa provides an optimistic long-term outlook. Siga's financial stability is threatened by potential policy changes driven by the new U.S. government and TPOXX's uncertain efficacy against mpox.

SIGA Technologies' stock has declined 37% since my "speculative buy" recommendation in August, driven by a muted response to the mpox outbreak. The initial recommendation was based on the WHO's mpox emergency declaration and potential increased demand for SIGA's lead asset, tecovirimat. The mpox outbreak has waned, and global authorities' response has been less aggressive, leading to lower-than-expected demand for tecovirimat.
