EpiCept Corporation - No pain, no gain
Oct 16th 2012 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on EpiCept Corporation entitled "No Pain, No Gain". In summary, the report says:
EpiCept’s investment case centres on rapidly finding a development/commercial partner for AmiKet, its topical product for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. It is also seeking a new partner for Azixa, to which it recently regained all rights. The company has cash until Q113, following the recent sale of Ceplene rights, but its share price remains depressed by financial concerns. Nevertheless, the potential upside from an AmiKet deal – which might come about via an M&A transaction – could reward investors. Following the Ceplene transaction, we calculate an rNPV of $29m, approximately three times the current EV.
