China has saw a surge of money leaving the country.
Remember, it is not poxy firms over there we are dealing with. It's Bosch and Sinopharm. The pricing too is what would keep the tech authentic on top of the risk of much larger entities continuing to walk. They cannot risk that.
Time sensitive - I agree but market shares aren't always based on first mover advantage. Usually who you know beats what you know.
Number of tests again is a market share issue. In bio tech valuations are revs x 10 plus pipeline considered. A small slice of the markets in the US and China are hundreds of millions per year.
We can only speculate on this board what can or cannot come. I don't think the company would take IPO x 4. It's far too low. What we may see could be royalty deals amended for licensing.
I wouldn't take a 100 mil mcap on what could be repeat tests throughout a patients journey.
My own musings:
China 3-4 million lung cancer diagnosis per year. Let's say we only get a slice of the tests. To even diagnose 3 million you are sampling 30 million patients. Likely more.
If we test just 5 million, that's 50 million per year based off what we know.
US, again you'd be screening 2-6 million per year. 30 million are the risk category. So let's go low. 2 million. Test at $250 per go again going low as $450 has been touted.
15 percent royalty is what we currently know. Going low that's 75 million.
So low end, that's 125 million. Just off the two countries. Not the EU, not the UK, not down under or else where in Asia.
It all depends on manufacture, scale and take up. But to be happy with 100mil. Nope.
I appreciate this is back of the envelope and speculation but I've put these numbers here to try and get people to wrap their heads around the potential.
