The company with zero revenue that is worth $31 billion
A biotech stock focused on herbal medicine has surged by more than 64,000 per cent so far this year, although the company has made zero revenue, much less turned a profit.
The unbelievable rally has transformed Regencell Bioscience Holdings, a penny stock as recently as April, to one worth more than $US20 billion ($30.7 billion) in market value. A year ago, the company had a market capitalisation of $US53 million. This is despite having a net loss of $US4.4 million for its fiscal year that ended June 2024, a 28 per cent decrease from the previous year.
Regencell Bioscience this month said its board approved a 38-for-1 stock split. When the split took effect, shares rose as much as 434 per cent – their biggest one-day jump ever – to a record high, triggering more than 10 volatility halts.
Shares of the company have been on a bizarre 640-fold tear in 2025, with little to no news released. The Hong Kong-based company, which debuted on the Nasdaq Capital Market in 2021, is in the research and development stage and has not generated any revenue since inception, according to its most-recent annual filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
A representative for Regencell didn't immediately respond to a Bloomberg request for comment.
Incorporated in the Cayman Islands, the company aims to treat neurological conditions such as ADHD and autism spectrum disorder through traditional herb-based medicines, according to its website. Its traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, which forms the basis of its product candidates, 'contains only natural ingredients without any synthetic components'.
'We have not generated revenue from any TCM formulae candidates or applied for any regulatory approvals, nor have distribution capabilities or experience or any granted patents or pending patent applications and may never be profitable,' the company said in an October filing.

Honda conducts surprise reusable rocket test
Honda has succeeded in a launch and landing test of its prototype reusable rocket, the Japanese company says in a surprise announcement, marking a milestone towards its 2029 goal of achieving a suborbital spaceflight. Honda R&D, the research arm of Japan's second-biggest car maker, successfully landed its 6.3-metre experimental reusable launch vehicle after reaching an altitude of 271 metres at its test facility in northern Japan's space town Taiki, according to the company. While "no decisions have been made regarding commercialisation of these rocket technologies, Honda will continue making progress in the fundamental research with a technology development goal of realising technological capability to enable a suborbital launch by 2029," it said in a statement. Honda in 2021 said it was studying space technologies such as reusable rockets but it has not previously announced the details of the launch test. A suborbital launch may touch the verge of outer space but does not enter orbit. Studying launch vehicles "has the potential to contribute more to people's daily lives by launching satellites with its own rockets, that could lead to various services that are also compatible with other Honda business," the company added. Reusable launch vehicles have been the driver of emerging commercial space missions over the past decade, led by SpaceX's Falcon 9, while its US rivals including Blue Origin and companies in China and Europe also have reusable rocket plans. Tokyo-based startup Innovative Space Carrier last month said it will test-launch a prototype reusable rocket in the United States in December using a US-made engine. Honda's rival Toyota, the world's biggest car maker by sales, earlier this year announced an investment by its research arm in Taiki-based rocket maker Interstellar Technologies to support mass production of launch vehicles. Japan's government has established a multibillion-dollar space venture fund to subsidise private rockets, satellites and other missions, targeting to double its space industry's size to 8 trillion yen ($US55.20 billion) by the early 2030s.
