From a post early on another board, as to why people here should look at Product Facts, Industry & Marketplace Facts, FDA EUA Facts and Competition Fact to determine the validity of Acuvid Test and its potential for securing FDA EUA and its potential in the market place.
This is to refute all those who make subjective comments that this is going to 5cent or 10 cents. Maybe its as high as they can count. Don't know, but they never provide any data backing their projections.
(NOTE: I updated some info on Quidel who posted final Q1, 2022 earning late last week https://www.medicaldevice-network.com/news/quidel-revenues-q1-2022/)
ACUVID RESEARCH: PRODUCT PERFORMANCE
Acuvid tests achieve FDA EUA requirements from US (and Brazil study) per company announcement. It also tested against variants and conducted the cross reactivity studies.
- US CLINICAL: PPA 80.3% & NPA. 98.0%.
- Complete during Omicron and Delta
- Brazil Clinical PPA. 85.7% and 97.8 %
MARKETPLACE RESEARCH; INDUSTRY FACTS & COMPETITOR SUCCESS
- Abbott made $3.3B of $11B from Covid-19 tests Sales in Q1, 2022
- DiaSorin reported revenues of €96.7 million for COVID-19 serology and molecular diagnostic tests,
- https://diasoringroup.com/en/investors/financial-corner/press-releases/strong-growth-revenues-and-cash-flow-generation-q1-2022
- Quidell made over $890M on $1B in revenues from its Q1, 2022 Profit was $740M. That's 74% profit on $1B Revenue
- Seimens made €329M from its Q1, 2022 Covid-19 sales
- TOTAL: over $5B USD on their COVID19 test
These 4 companies make up 12 of the 50 COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Tests with FDA EUA.
What revenues are the other 38 tests making? If these 38 make $5B combined, that's $131M per test per quarter...over $500M per year with a profit margin of $250M per year (estimate 50% profit, where as Quidel had 74% profit). Today, May 13, 2022, Quidel's PE Ratio is 4.18, based on the fact 89% of its revenues came from COVID19 tests.
If each of the 38 remaining tests were to make $250M USD [$323M CAD] profit X PE Ratio 4.0 that's a $1.00B USD [$1.292B CAD] valuation ...or $4 CAD per share on 312M shares, warrants & options.
FDA RESEARCH: FDA EUA FACTS & REQUIREMENTS
- All manufacturers have to test their device against all World Health Organizations Variants of Concern
- All manufacturers have to be able to produce a minimum of 500K test kits per week for POC or At Home
- Tests need to achieve a minimum of 80% PPA and 95%-96% NPA
COMPETITORS RESEARCH: COMPETITORS WITH FDA EUA
Check out the dates these all received FDA EUA. Some during Omicron & Delta. Others long before that. Would Ortho and Ellume still have the same results or lower? Even though Acuvid is lower for US study vs Brazil study in PPA, it still meets FDA EUA. Doubtful Ellume and Ortho would meet these FDA EUA standards today
