Health & Biotech
share
A positive end-of-year financial report combined with the receipt of drugs ahead of its Phase II trial in dogs with cancer has PharmAust (ASX:PAA) as the best-performing health or biotech company in the past fortnight.
Since we last checked in, PharmAust has risen 61 per cent to 14c. The stock has gained 306 per cent in the past year.
On Friday it revealed a 33 per cent boost in revenue to $4.4m, while its full-year loss has come down 36 per cent to $1.6m.
The company also received 7,750 of its newly developed GMP-grade monepantel tablets, which will be handed to vets running the study testing anti-cancer efficacy in pet dogs with B cell lymphoma.
Neuren Pharmaceuticals (ASX:NEU) is next best, up 58 per cent to $2.18 in the past two weeks.
It spruiked “very significant progress” towards the development of trofinetide for Rett syndrome and the development of NNZ-2591 for multiple neurodevelopmental disorders.
It also posted its half-year results, which saw its revenue increase 13 per cent to $283,000.
ResApp (ASX:RAP) is also among the winners, thanks to its coughing app finally getting regulatory approval.
The company’s app ResAppDx-EU, a smartphone-based diagnostic test for acute paediatric respiratory disease, received CE Mark certification as a Class IIa medical device.
At the other end of the scale, Eagle Health (ASX:EHH), a health product provider to China, had the biggest fall, dropping 46 per cent to 15.5c thanks to a poor financial year.
Revenue increased slightly to $44.5m but its profit nearly halved, down 48 per cent to $2.5m.
