@Nelson - Yes, first commercialisation is probably about 18-24 months away. The market is assigning a value of £150m to the potential of the company. This is ludicrously too low in my opinion.
A catalyst for the initial re-rate will be some form of new partnership - oncology, IBS, Asthma... It will come off the back of the great data we've seen. For example, if an IBS phase 3 partner is found and we receive say a £200m upfront payment (I seem to recall recent similar such payments being up to $350m... but perhaps someone can help me out here?) then that should be at least a 100% gain in a day. Taken from the following link "As such, Blautix has the potential to be a first in class drug, and management believe this data in its totality will be sufficient to progress the programme into a Phase III pivotal programme, whether independently or with a licensing partner (TBC). We note that 4D are in ongoing discussions with leading pharmaceutical developers in the IBS space, and data should be viewed with interest by potential partners.

That is not even touching on the rest of the company's pipeline.
This will catch many off guard IMO - the time to get in is now, when we are valued so lowly.
