For the purpose, we have taken peers like ImExHS Limited (ASX: IME), Mach7 Technologies Limited (ASX: M7T), Next Science Limited (ASX: NXS) to name a few. We believe that the company can trade at a slight premium as compared to its peer average, considering record growth in total revenue in Q2FY21, increase in patient tests, modest outlook, while also considering the that the company has been trading at a premium in the past 3-years over its peer median. Considering decent performance in Q2FY21, and modest forecast for Q3FY21, rise in patient tests, valuation, and associated risks, we give a ‘Speculative Buy’ rating on the stock at the current market price of $0.145 on 17th February 2021.
