Growth Trajectory and Initiatives
Historical Growth: Historical growth has been driven primarily by NERLYNX sales, though growth has slowed due to competition.
Future Projections: Future growth depends on the company's ability to expand NERLYNX's market share, develop new products, and achieve profitability. Analyst estimates suggest moderate growth potential.

Successful expansion into new markets and strategic partnerships are crucial for its future growth. Cash flows are a concern, and profitability needs to be addressed for the company to succeed long term.
