On June 1, Taglich Brothers initiated coverage with a price target of $20.

Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, co-founder and executive chairman of Ocean Biomedical said, “We are pleased to see our cumulative efforts and growing strengths recognized by the analysts covering our stock, and the stockholders who have invested in us, especially the diverse potential of our core cancer, malaria, and fibrosis programs.”

Promising Pipeline

The company’s strengths highlighted by the research firms in their coverage include its IP and patents for a diversified pipeline of late-stage pre-clinical assets in cancer, malaria, and fibrosis; experimental results showing promise in multiple cancers including lung cancer and glioblastoma; and novel discoveries in malaria prevention and treatment, with a breakthrough vaccine candidate being advanced and the potential for a whole new class of anti-malarial drugs.

Another strength emphasized by the firms in their coverage is the committed financial backing, including previously disclosed funding facilities with White Lion Capital LLC and Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio B, which, subject to conditions and restrictions, could provide up to $100 million.

“We appreciate the close attention analysts have given to our asset portfolio,” commented Ocean Biomedical’s CFO Gurinder Kalra.
