But QLT has $155.95 million in cash sitting on its balance sheet! With that market cap, that amount of cash and zero debt, QLT is trading with a negative enterprise value of $8.2 million. And companies with negative EVs are always worth looking at. QLT, a small biotech firm based in Vancouver, Canada, makes prostate cancer drug Eligard, macular degeneration drug Visudyne and acne treatment Aczon.

Even better, QLT hired Goldman Sachs as a financial adviser, and QLT management is looking to sell off this part of the business. Merrill Lynch says that Eligard is worth $150 million to $180 million, while RBC says $125 million to $145 million.
