Telik, Inc. (TELK) is a clinical stage drug development company focused on discovering and developing small molecule drugs to treat cancer. The company's most advanced drug candidate is Telintra, a modified glutathione analog intended for the treatment of hematologic disorders including myelodysplastic syndrome; followed by Telcyta, a cancer activated prodrug for the treatment of a variety of cancers. Telik's product candidates were discovered using its proprietary drug discovery technology, TRAP, which enables the rapid and efficient discovery of small molecule drug candidates.

My analysis

The stock is currently trading at 65% discount to its net cash per share value. I would recommend buying the shares below the net cash level. I am not expecting the company to be profitable for the full-year 2012.
