#AVCT
The pandemic has transformed many companies. Not least oncology, biotherapeutics, Covid testing & diagnostics firm Avacta by shining a spotlight on its 2 breakthrough platforms – Affimer & pre|CISION.
Indeed there’s certainly no shortage in demand. Rather if anything, #AVCT has so many opportunities it’s difficult for even professional investors like myself to keep up.
Fortunately today, the board released a comprehensive update detailing progress wrt its key initiatives. Including rapid lateral flow (LF) antigen testing, tumour activated prodrugs, Affimer engineered therapeutics & numerous 3rd party licensing agreements. Each of which if fully commercialised, could propel the stock considerably higher.
Exactly by how much is anyone’s guess. Albeit we’re talking multi $bn end markets here. All possibly justifying valuations many times greater than the current £450m mrkcap (incl £48m of cash 31st Dec’20).
Investors may not have to wait too long either.
Since #AVCT's LF covid test (initial clinical data looks excellent) is set to be launched shortly - alongside results from its AVA6000 Pro-doxorubicin Phase 1 trials by yearend. There’s likely to be tons more important newsflow too in between.
IMO, fabulous technology with huge TAMs & enormous potential.
