- 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Summary We discuss in more detail below the meaning of the Interim analysis and the path to approval, including timelines and costs. Can Onconova get there? There are hurdles (aren’t there for most microcap biotech companies?), but we believe they can eventually, based on the fundamental prospects of Rigosertib." (3/26/2018)
- 3. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Buy-rated Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. (CYTX, $0.70 PT) reported 4Q17 results AMC Thursday, 3/8/2018, and held a corresponding conference call at 5:30pm ET. CYTX posted a top line/ EPS/adj. EBITDA of $1.5M/($0.20)/($2.9)M versus our estimate of $2.0M/($0.10)/($3.3)M and consensus $2.6M/($0.10)/($1.7)M. The revenue miss was primarily due to lower Celution Systems sales in Japan as 4Q government contract revenue through BARDA for the R&D of medical countermeasures for thermal burns of $0.9M was just shy of our $1.0M estimate. BARDA revenues should continue to increase as CYTX gets ready to commence its pilot trial (for additional info, see Quick Note dated 6/1/17). Meanwhile, CYTX’s EPS would have been in line with our projection but the company recognized $4.0M in one-time non-cash expenses related to a beneficial conversion feature for convertible preferred stock. CYTX’s adj." (3/9/2018)
