Mid-week Tip Wednesday 9th May
The OMG newsletter recommends at least 15 companies each month, using the writers’ experience of small caps to give you a winning edge. Last week they wrote about Cizzle Biotechnology and SysGroup. Read about these Opportunities 4 Material Gains!
Cizzle Biotechnology (LSE:CIZ) is a spin out from the University of York, which still owns 3.14%, and in May it reversed into standard list shell Bould Opportunities. The University of Leeds and University of Sheffield each owns 4.26% of the enlarged company, while Yorkshire Cancer Research owns 12.4% and Finance Yorkshire 9.36%. Cizzle is developing a test that could make diagnosing lung cancer more accurate by preventing false positives. Eliminating these false positives will reduce the worry for patients and save money. There is already a prototype, but there is still work to do on validating the test. The potential is enormous, and the valuation is modest. If the test costs £200, the annual sales potential in the UK would be more than £20m, but that would save more than £60m of NHS spending after paying for the tests. The US market could be worth more than $100m. Prior to the reversal £2.2m was raised and some of that will cover the expenses of the reversal. Pro forma cash was £1.89m at the time of the reversal. There could be around £400,000 left at the end of 2022, but a cash call will probably have happened by then. 6.88p (6.75p/7p) Mkt Cap: £17.4m Long term buy.
