🔄 How my view has changed
Before the updates, I leaned:
Avacta is a high-risk, high-upside speculative bet.
If AVA6000 shows positive Phase 1b / Phase 2 data, upside is significant; but downside risk (clinical failure, dilution) was large.
I'd be cautious about committing a large sum, but I would consider a modest position in a diversified biotech portfolio.
Now, after the updates, here’s where I’ve moved:
More optimistic about the mid-term potential
The new partial response in Phase 1b is a meaningful signal that the drug can work in humans. That moves it from “science potential only” closer to “clinical proof in patients.”
The shift to a pure therapeutics strategy (selling off diagnostics assets) clarifies the company’s identity. That helps with investor confidence and focus.
Still cautious on financials and dilution risk
The funding moves (equity placing, bond modifications) show management is actively managing obligations, which is good. But they also highlight how tight cash is.
Dilution is pending, so even if the science goes well, part of gains may be eaten by new share issuance.
More confident in short- to medium-term upside, but less comfortable with the extremes
I’d now place a somewhat higher probability on the “modest to strong success” outcomes (i.e. 2× to 5× over 3 years) than I did earlier.
I remain skeptical of the “moonshot 10×–20×” outcomes unless everything aligns perfectly (data, funding, partnerships).
🧮 My adjusted “gut estimate” now
If forced to pick:
Chance of a positive / worthwhile return over 3–5 years: ~50%
Chance of a “very strong outcome” (e.g. >5× return): ~10–15%
Chance of flat / negative outcome: ~35–40%
So, compared to before, I’m slightly more bullish — but still aware that it’s speculative and fragile.
