What are Wall Street analysts saying about Aquabounty Technologies stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Aquabounty Technologies stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. is a biotechnology company. It focused on enhancing productivity in aquaculture. The company operates primarily in Maynard, Massachusetts and Fortune, Prince Edward Island. AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. is based in Maynard, United States. " (3/20/2019)
- 2. National Securities analysts commented, "Upending Economics Of Land-Based Aquaculture. While the economics of ocean-based aquaculture is compelling, the scale required for land-based systems has historically prevented large-scale production of species like salmon. We believe AquaBounty’s AquAdvatage Salmon changes this dynamic and represents a truly disruptive technology.
Final Regulatory Hurdle Nearly Cleared. In December, the USDA issued labeling guidance, which represented one of the final regulatory challenges in advance of domestic commercialization. We expect FDA labeling guidance in the coming months, at which point domestic production could begin.
Establishing Pole Position. Both the local approval and construction of land-based systems, as well as the development and regulatory approval for growth enhanced species can take a decade or more. With both processes almost complete, we believe AQB has a first mover advantage with the potential to establish market share for the next decade before meaningful competition can arrive.
High Ceiling Value. Once production begins, commercialization efforts can begin in full force. Should demand arise beyond our targeted production, several high margin strategies for expansion in both domestic and international markets could exist, in our opinion. Should this occur, we believe there is potential for shareholder value to meaningfully exceed current levels." (3/6/2019)
