GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the company’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rank•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Guru Investment Theses on Cardium Therapeutics, Inc.

Baron Funds Comments on CarMax Inc. - Feb 06, 2013

With $11 billion in sales, CarMax, Inc. (CXM) is the nation's largest retailer of used cars. The company's shares rose after it demonstrated positive momentum in its sales and earnings growth. We believe that several positive factors should set the stage for continued good results in 2013. These include a significantly improved supply of late model cars entering the used car market, which should drive better prices and sales volume; accelerating same store sales as more recently-opened stores enter the sales base; and, pent-up demand for used cars among drivers, resulting from an the high average age of cars currently on the road.

From Baron Funds' fourth quarter letter.

Business Description

Cardium Therapeutics, Inc. was organized in Delaware in December 2003. Its business is focused on the acquisition and strategic development of product opportunities or businesses having the potential to address significant unmet medical needs, and definable pathways to commercialization, partnering or other monetization following the achievement of corresponding development objectives. The Company's business model is designed to create multiple opportunities for success while avoiding reliance on any single technology platform or product type, and to leverage Cardium's skills in late-stage product development in order to bridge the critical gap between promising new technologies and product opportunities that are ready for commercialization. The product candidate from its Cardium Biologics unit is Generx (alferminogene tadenovec, Ad5FGF-4), which is being developed as a potential treatment for myocardial ischemia (insufficient blood flow within the heart muscle) due to coronary heart disease. Generx represents a new therapeutic class of cardiovascular biologics designed to promote collateral angiogenesis, a natural process of blood vessel growth within the heart muscle, to increase blood supply to ischemic areas of the heart following a one-time intracoronary administration. The Company's Tissue Repair Company subsidiary is focused on the development of therapeutics and devices for the potential treatment of chronic wounds such as non-healing diabetic ulcers and other wounds, as well as the repair of other tissues, including both hard tissue injuries such as bone fracture, as well as soft tissue injuries affecting ligaments, tendons or cartilage. The pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries are intensely competitive. New drugs, biologics and devices are subject to extensive regulation under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. In addition, biologics are also regulated under the Public Health Service Act.
