$BU.TO Good to see KPMG on board as auditor to replace PWC. Burcon owns ~32% of Merit JV which includes $BG as ~29% partner. JV did >$6MM in sales in 1st yr & on track for solid yoy growth. Catalysts ahead: sunflower JV, new CEO, new collabs & higher $BG R&D plant protein spend.

$IMMP Jefferies ups tgt to A$1 for $IMM.AU. Equals $6.83 for $IMMP w recent pullback in AUD$. Shares closed higher in Australia after making new 12-month low on decent volume.
$BRCN $BU.TO 1) Expect sales ramp at Merit next Q. 2) Cons #’s now inline w reality. 3) Both easy to manufacture Peazazz C + methylcellulose replacement attracting industry attn. Catalysts ahead: sunflower JV, new CEO, new collaborations & increased $BG R&D spend on plant protein
$BRCN $BU.TO Good news via non-dilutive $10 million credit line from largest shareholder Firewood (wholly-owned by Director Alan Chan). Catalysts ahead incl (1) new CEO, (2) new #plantbased protein partnerships that are “progressing well”, and (3) addt’l strategic collaborations
$BRCN $BU.TO Key takeaway from $BG Q1 call: Mgmt detailed “robust pipeline of oppty’s today in range of $2BB of projects”; when asked how much was alternative proteins, CFO answered $500MM-$1BB. Reaffirms ++ outlook for plant-protein & $BRCN, Bunge’s JV partner in @MeritProteins.
$BRCN $BU.TO 10/ Another good article on Burcon/Merit’s approach to replace #methylcellulose, in particular noting “pretty remarkable gelation” with proteins that go thru their proprietary membrane filtration process. “We knew we had something special…” https://t.co/SndzdFc6SC
@RNA_Biotech Throw in compelling preclinical data on pancreatic cancer using MDNA109, the $MDNA IL-2 Superkine platform that forms basis for MDNA11 & more reason for optimism it can reshape TME from immunosuppressive to treat immunologically cold tumors, ie, pancreatic https://t.co/MKoB2HihLN
@zoo_f2@Immutep Australian listing has its perks. As of now better bankers & analysts vs US. Led successful financing w blue chip investors like Fidelity Int’l. Last two $IMMP raises without warrants too…very important as warrant-related financings crush micro/small cap Biotechs all too often.
$IMMP Poster has 2 key datapoints not in @Immutep PR namely 1) 8.7-9.6 median OS in patients w nil to low PD-1 expression, 2) median OS not yet reached in patients w >50% PD-1 expression. Both better vs chemo. Wilson’s also does good job summarizing data buried in PR’s footnotes.
$IMMP 2/ Key takeaways from update: 1) INSIGHT ~60% enrolled; 2) TACTI003 ~25% enrolled; 3) $IMMP “approached for pot’l new investigator-initiated trials as well as other pot’l collaborations for efti in various indications & combos” & “currently assessing these opportunities”.
$IMMP - $MRK down ~$3 = ~$7BB mkt cap hit on Keytruda+chemoradiation combo trial fail in HNSCC. $MRK “committed” to investigating earlier stages. Efti+Keytruda combo data in 2L HNSCC compelling & helped TACTI-003 get Fast Track in 1L HNSCC. $IMMP ~$186MM mkt cap w ~$60MM cash.
@Cerberus_Invest@webcav1@SteveWagsInvest Agree on $STXS. New catheter a game changer that will boost revs & profits meaningfully in years ahead. New guidewires, addt’l catheters & mobile robot also significant drivers. The pot’l of its RMN tech in #pulsedfieldablation under appreciated & can be major catalyst ahead:
