Proteome Sciences (LON:PRM) - Major deal soon, albeit a bit delayed
Feb 01st 2013 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on Proteome Sciences (PRM.L, LSE:PRM, LON:PRM) entitled "Major Deal Soon, Albeit A Bit Delayed". In summary, the report says:
Proteome Sciences expects to sign a major PS Biomarker Service contract during Q113. It had hoped to have concluded the deal in Q412, thus we have reduced our estimates in FY12. However, we still forecast that Proteome Sciences will be profitable in FY13 as the company has a strong order book and expects to sign more stroke biomarker licensing agreements this year. Proteome Sciences is also in discussion with prospective partners for its CK1δ inhibitors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), having reported that these compounds have shown significant activity in in vivo models. Our valuation is reduced by £4m to £126m.
