So, whatâs driving the action for the next Quarters for GOVX ?
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a âNotice of Allowance for Patent Application No. 17/000,768 titled, âMethod for Generating a ZIKV Immune Response Utilizing a Recombinant Modified Vaccinia Ankara Vector Encoding the NS1 Protein.ââ
If you havenât heard of GeoVax, donât feel bad. The company sports a tiny market capitalization and weighs in at just $32 million. According to the company, âGeoVax is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel therapies and vaccines for cancers and many of the worldâs most threatening infectious diseases.â
The company said its Zika vaccine candidate, GEO-ZM02, is âconstructed using our modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vector platform.â According to its preclinical studies, a single dose of GeoVaxâs GEO-ZM02 âprovided 100% protection against a lethal dose of Zika virus.â
What to Make of GOVX Stock Right Now
There are some great developments happening for GeoVax, and weâre seeing that play out in GOVX stock â especially today.
However, it goes beyond what the company is doing with GEO-ZM02. In fact, according to GeoVax:
âOur lead program in oncology is GedeptinÂŽ, presently in a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial for advanced head and neck cancers. Our lead infectious disease program is CM04S1, a next-generation Covid-19 vaccine targeting high-risk immunocompromised patient populations, currently in two Phase 2 clinical trials.â
I understand this is a lot of medical gibberish to some investors who just want to know whether GOVX stock is a buy. Unfortunately, the answer to that question is not so simple.
The company is not exactly pre-revenue, but its revenue has recently gone to zero. It has not posted any revenue on its income statement in the last two quarters. That said, keep in mind this is a clinical-stage biotechnology.
So despite a reasonably solid balance sheet â where current assets are more than five-fold the companyâs total liabilities â this falls under the category of speculation.
So when evaluating whether or not to buy GOVX stock, keep this in mind.
Go in at 1.40 or lower....
