Synairgen reported FY 2020 results that showed an adjusted net loss of £13.7m, with year-end cash of £75.0m, some £27m higher than our expectations. The delta can largely be accounted for by delays in starting enrolment into the Phase III trial as well as the treatment of prepayments for drug substance and nebulisers: the latter reflected in working capital rather than expensed through the income statement. Near-term focus remains on the outcome of the Phase III study (SG018), and with the enrol

Headline results from the cohort of non-hospitalised patients were presented from the Phase II trial (SG016) of SNG001 in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients as well as data from the combined analysis of the Hospital and Home Cohort. SNG001 treatment led to a threefold likelihood of recovering to ‘no limitation of activities’ in the markedly/severely breathless COVID-19 patients compared with those on placebo in the home and hospital setting; strengthening the efficacy signal and reinforcing the previo

Oxford University and AstraZeneca announced the first interim analysis from the Phase III study of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate, which was found to be 70% effective in preventing COVID-19. This follows similar announcements from Moderna, and Pfizer/BioNTech in the previous two weeks, and the caveats we mentioned at the time remain the same. While all of these results have been highly encouraging, we reiterate that they do not diminish the urgent need for COVID-19 treatments and testing, which

In its first Litmus test after an ‘ambitious’ CMD in June 2021, the British giant has put up a decent show. The group witnessed recovery in the base business, particularly in vaccines which benefited from the sales of COVID-19 vaccine adjuvant. While the near term continues be tricky due to resurfacing COVID-19 concerns, encouraging trends on the COVID-19 vaccine / treatment front and growing HIV and oncology prowess should calm the nerves.

ANGLE announced its second pharma services contract with an undisclosed drug development company, using Parsortix firstly to develop two custom CTC assays to look at biomarkers of DNA damage repair, for which it will be paid c.$0.4m and, secondly, if successful, to use these validated assays for longitudinal analysis in a subsequent clinical trial planned to start in H2 2022.

In Q2, Astra reported strong sales growth momentum, (again) driven by a strong showing in oncology, diabetes drug Farxiga and COVID-19 vaccine sales. Although there were some issues in R&I and CVRM. More importantly, at cost vaccine sales and mandatory VBP discounts in China weighed on profitability. While the profitability strain can sustain in H2 as well, one should find confidence from the robust potential of core pharma offerings and the addition of high-growth and excellent-margin Alexion,

A positive trading update for H1 2021 prompts full-year upgrades to forecasts and provides the basis for the introduction of FY 2022 forecasts. H1 2021 sales orders increased 74% to £8.6m; up from £4.9m in H1 2020, with a 50% increase in revenues and a £0.5m increase in adjusted EBITDA to £0.2m. A record contracted order backlog (up 36% or £4.0m from 31 December 2020 to £15.2m), which contains several large contracts with revenues to be recognised over up to six years, provides improved long-ter

Guidance of 10%-13% top-line growth and an 18%-19% trading margin was re-iterated. Following the broadly in-line performance, we do not expect any significant ch

What a difference a year makes - 12 months ago, the focus, quite understandably, was on the course of the pandemic and the lifting of the Lockdown (1) measures. For investors, it was the sustainability of the rally in markets seen since March 2020. Today, while we are still thinking about the lifting of lockdown measures, we are also concerned about two “old favourites” from previous decades. Inflation and the parlous state of public finances. The BoE has said that although CPI inflation rose to

In our second edition of “Trend spotting” we note how in the last three weeks the defensive rotation trend has gathered pace and further evidence has emerged of the “relative fading” in the UK economy. However we now see early signs of the “risk on” trend starting to reassert itself in equity markets and we look at small cap laggards plus European exposure as ways to play this.

Warpaint’s interim results for FY2020 reflect the impact from Covid-19, with revenues of £13.5m, down 29% year-on-year (yoy) and adjusted profits from operations of £0.4m. Importantly, net cash has improved to £3.8m, up from £2.7m at the end of December 2019. We highlight the outlook statement, in particular, the recovering revenue in H2, the proposed interim dividend of 1.5p, together with an additional 1.3p to reflect no final dividend was paid for 2019, as signs of confidence from the Board.

Q4 trading has led sales to guidance being raised 8%. This has been driven by better than expected UK sales, incl. success with new customers like Wilko/Tesco. Some of the benefit is offset by a non-cash FX debit, but it still leads to an upgrade and higher net cash. As a result of successful trials in Tesco Express, W7 is also being rolled out to 469 more stores. This, and previously announced distribution gains, bodes well for incremental sales/PBT in 2021, and underlines the appeal of its val
