Future Potential v Current Share Price13 Feb 2022 13:47
I'm just as frustrated as any investor would be that has done their research on Scancell and the platforms under development. The current decline has multiple factors, the three trial delays caused by Omicron pre-Christmas, the UK government insinuating that the pandemic is past and Covid-19 is now to be classed the same as a common cold, the global financial markets beginning to aim towards a retrace and Mr Putin threatening our feelings of safety.
The fact is we have been delayed and none of it is the fault of the company.
Each trial will pick up the pace as the chosen clinics return to full capacity. In the full year 2022 we could still see complete phase 1 data from Covidity, partial data from MODI1 and data from the SCIB1 Combination trial.
These none company related delays have presented an opportunity to buy the shares at a reduced price. Imagine if the last Omicron wave had not happened and we had first dosed all 40 subjects in South Africa and dosed 4 patients with MODI1 and added 4 or 5 to SCIB1. The recent RNS on Covidity being 'Well Tolerated' would have seen the SP rise, where to, I don't know exactly but let's say 30p.
Plus, what if this gamble of saying the pandemic is over backfires and another more aggressive Covid-19 Variant of Concern begins to threaten our freedoms again just as the recent booster vaccines begin to wane in effectiveness, what then ?
The current SP does present an opportunity set against the potential for the Covidity Phase1 Data landing positive just as the world looks again for a working Universal Vaccine.
Patience is a Virtue and necessity.
