- 1. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We continue to believe that Dextenza has the potential to obtain regulatory approval in the U.S. by the end of 2018 and start generating revenue around mid-2019. The company plans to apply for a pass-through reimbursement status (C code) for Dextenza. With bundled pricing of cataract surgery, Dextenza should be priced above $480 per dose according to CMS guidelines, in our view. In the wake of this update, we reiterate our Buy rating and $10 price target." (6/21/2018)

Key leadership positions have also been filled including the hiring of experienced quality and regulatory personnel, which we think could further provide additional investor confidence moving forward.
