What this transaction means for investors

Harvest Investment Services has grown the size of its portfolio from less than $100 million at the end of 2022 to more than $500 million at the end of this March. While the portfolio’s performance makes Harvest look like a good money manager to follow, it’s probably not a great idea to read too much into its recent sale of Adaptive Biotechnologies stock. The diagnostics company was one of 48 positions that the firm closed out completely during the first quarter.

Harvest could end up regretting its recent sale of Adaptive Biotechnologies stock. First-quarter sales of the company’s cancer tests that confirm minimal residual disease (MRD) status shot up by 53% year over year.

Providing MRD testing services to drug developers is a small part of Adaptive Biotechnologies business right now, but it could become a significant growth driver down the road. In the first quarter, the company received its first U.S. big milestone payment for helping a clinical trial reach its primary endpoint.
