Conclusion : As an IPO investor in the company like NXS NextScience , I have noticed over the years that in Medical Tech companies regulatory approvals and Partnership with BIG companies are very important . (
https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/ipo-next-science-limited.4678011/page-9?post_id=38085786 My post on NXS a month before IPO ) . At 150 mil Mcap , some investors had their concerns about valuation of NXS but in 2 months of listing it went to 800 mil mcap ( from $1 to $4.70 ..sp now $ 2.80) mainly because of FDA approved products and partnership with 3M.
Similarly , Imricor got CE mark approvals for one of their product and another 2 products are in the final stage of the approval process. And Imricor has strategic partnerships with
Siemens Healthcare GmbH( Mcap 86 BILLION ) and Koninklijke Philips N.V ( Mcap 37.58 BILLION ) .
Siemens is also a share holder in the company which is a BIG vote of confidence.
IMO its very reasonably priced at 77 mil mcap and they are guiding for $ 10 mil revenue for FY19. Imricor will be the
first company in the world to bring commercially viable and safe MRI-compatible products to the cardiac catheter ablation market. Looking at the size of the opportunity and many achievements in the past , IMO we have a risk/reward in our favor and it can become half a billion mcap company in next 2 to 3 years time subject to Successfully getting CE mark approvals for all of their products.
I have got a reasonable allocation in Imricor IPO
