Agree with you Trek that Dest is very cheap at this price, when considering the following:
1. 2 phase 3 ready drugs, one licensed (M3) and in discussions to license the other (XF-73).
2. Management are expecting a Major pharma as a partner for XF-73 and are expecting a large upfront payment. This is because they believe XF-73 will become a blockbuster drug and in time it will be the standard of care for virtually every operation.
3. Managements confidence is backed up by the fact that NIAID are paying for pre clinical work on XF-73 for wounds for the USA army. Initial results are looking good. NIAID more than likely will pay for clinical trials also. This will be a hugh endorsement for XF-73.
4. Sporcov pre clinical results are excellent for Influenza and Covid. Expect an update on this soon.
5. Now that Sebela will pay for phase 3 trial for M3, Dest can use that data to gain approval in rest of the world without having to do another phase 3 trial. This is means the licensing deals we sign for rest of world with other partners will likely involve a decent upfront payment as they do not have to pay for a trial.
All the above for a Mcap of £29M, very undervalued indeed. I have a large holding and very confident that this will at least 10 bag from here over time, just need a little patience.
