Foolish take
Chicago Capital's move to expand its investment in Procept BioRobotics is notable because it was a massive increase. Chicago Capital added nearly one million shares to its stake.
This indicates Chicago Capital's belief that Procept BioRobotics holds upside despite the stock's steady price decline throughout 2025. Shares hit a 52-week low of $32.11 on Oct. 14.
Various factors caused the stock's fall, starting with a report in January by Spruce Point Capital Management, which challenged Procept BioRobotics' tech, calling it hype and questioning its safety. Then in July, Procept's CEO decided to step down.
So why does Chicago Capital believe so much in the company that it significantly expanded its position? Likely because Procept BioRobotics' business is growing rapidly.
In the second quarter, the company's revenue rose an impressive 48% year over year to $79.2 million. Its success led to Procept BioRobotics raising its 2025 full year revenue outlook to $325.5 million, a 45% increase over 2024.
While Spruce Point's report may have soured Wall Street on the stock, Procept BioRobotics' fast-growing sales shows its business is capturing customers. In fact, the falling stock price combined with rising sales brought Procept BioRobotics shares to an attractive price-to-sales ratio of seven.
Chicago Capital likely recognized the compelling share price valuation and skyrocketing sales as reasons to dramatically expand its Procept BioRobotics stake. The tech company certainly looks like a worthwhile buy opportunity.
