Telix Pharmaceuticals announced an agreement with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to resubmit its application for a brain cancer imaging agent. The market reacted nervously after Telix reported FDA challenges that necessitate additional efficacy analysis for the resubmission.
Investors are split on the recent share price drop, debating whether it's a 'falling knife' or a buying opportunity.
Analysts describe the FDA approval process as unpredictable. Telix’s market valuation includes anticipated sales from a second product yet to materialise. Caution is suggested due to current risks and the need for discounts.
Telix's high debt-to-equity ratio, exceeding 100%, raises concerns as it seeks more capital. Historically, biotech investments, except a few like CSL in New Zealand, have had mixed results. Such investments are often speculative, akin to relying on hope.
