Stocks’ Details
 

NoxoPharm Ltd

Completed the transfer of shares to Nyrada: NoxoPharm Ltd (ASX: NOX) has completed the transfer of shares underlying the establishment of US subsidiary, Nyrada Inc. NOX had formed Nyrada as a US subsidiary company as a non-oncology drug development business that now owns the intellectual property rights in three non-oncology drug programs after the transfer of shares. On the other hand, NOX has released interim data from its first-in-human study of NOX66 that was conducted in Georgia and the data entailed encouraging outcomes on safety and disease control in patients receiving NOX66 along with a low dose of carboplatin. With the release of the data and other presentations that the group has been delivering to gain traction, NOX stock surged up 93.18% in one month as on November 20, 2017. Given the run-up while it would be better to wait for more positives, we put an “Expensive” recommendation on the stock at the current price of $0.83
 

Nanosonics Ltd

Growth in FY 17 and global expansion: Nanosonics Ltd (ASX: NAN) in FY 17 has reported 58% growth in sales to $67.58 million, and posted a significant pre-tax profit of $13.9 million compared with $136,000 in the prior year while free cash flow of $15.1 million was up from $1.9 million in FY 16. Moreover, in FY 17, NAN’s flagship trophon product has witnessed an increased global installed base of 41% to more than 14,100 units, each generating the opportunity for significant annuity revenue. NAN has continued global market expansion, established its direct sales operations in Canada and signed the agreement with Sakura Seiki for the distribution of the trophon system in the important Japanese market. Additionally, NAN has planned geographic expansion across Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific to broaden its global footprint. Based on above efforts, NAN expects the operational expense for the FY 18 to be approximately $48 million, which includes $14 million in R&D. Meanwhile, NAN stock has risen 19.92% in three months as on November 20, 2017. Based on slightly higher levels of trading, we give a “Hold” recommendation on the stock at the current price of $2.77

Mayne Pharma Group Ltd

Launched the full range of clozapine tablets in US:Mayne Pharma Group Ltd (ASX: MYX) has launched the full range of clozapine tablets (25mg, 50mg, 100mg and 200mg) in the United States. This product is currently manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Limited and will now be manufactured at the facility in Greenville, North Carolina. The new solid oral dose manufacturing facility is planned to open in early 2018 and will quadruple MYX’s U.S. manufacturing capacity to well over 1 billion doses, and importantly introduces significant new capacity to manufacture high potent compounds and new capability to manufacture modified-release bead/pellet products. Meanwhile, MYX stock has fallen 16.55% in three months as on November 20, 2017, owing to weakness in the generic drugs market. Further, there is a consolidation of wholesalers in the United States, which led to significant pricing pressures. Based on the foregoing, we give an “Expensive” recommendation on the stock at the current price of $0.615
 

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corp Ltd

Financial Performance: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corp Ltd (ASX: FPH) in the first half-year ending September 30, 2017 has reported for 4% growth in the net profit after tax to NZ$81.3 million over the prior comparable period. Operating revenue grew 8% to NZ$458.4 million compared to the first half last year. FPH has also declared an interim dividend of 8.75 NZ cents per ordinary share, which is an increase of 6% on the interim dividend last year. The interim dividend, carrying full New Zealand imputation credit, will be paid in December 2017. Moreover, for FY 18, FPH expects the operating revenue to be approximately NZ$1 billion and net profit after tax to be approximately between NZ$185 to NZ$190 million. However, the stock lost over 3.8% on November 21, 2017 with investors disappointed with costs relating to legal fights with ResMed and concerns over any regulatory or macro level changes with regards to capability to manufacture in Mexico. Based on the foregoing, we give an “Expensive” recommendation on the stock at the current price of $11.90
