SPL - Starpharma Holdings

Jump to new
Despite all the positives wrt their products, the SP is finding it very very hard to move forward.
Much like a new born, it takes a lot of time to mature and become self sufficient.
That said, I'm still confident it will rise and shine: later, if not sooner.
 
Following this announcement on 1/3/22 one would naturally expect the SP to skyrocket.


SPL7013 in VIRALEZE virucidal against Omicron

The antiviral agent in VIRALEZE antiviral nasal spray, SPL7013, achieved >99.5% reduction of virus infectivity (the maximal possible reduction) against the highly contagious Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2

SPL7013 showed potent antiviral activity and was virucidal against the Omicron variant

SPL7013 outperformed other antiviral agents used in marketed nasal sprays, including iota-carrageenan and nitric oxide, in the studies conducted at The Scripps Research Institute

The potent activity of SPL7013 against the Omicron variant is consistent with previous data demonstrating virucidal activity against multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2, including Delta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Kappa

SPL7013 has also previously demonstrated potent antiviral activity against respiratory viruses, including influenza, RSV, and viruses that cause the common cold

VIRALEZE is registered in more than 30 countries, including in Europe, and available online in these and certain other markets


Clearly the MARKET operates on different sentiments than mine.
But I'm still hopeful, and topped up a bit more for the loooong term.
 
There's an article in the SMH today about the slow progress in getting Australian TGA approval for Viraleze.

Basically, SPL want it approved as a medical device and have applied for this approval. TGA wants the approval application to be for a medicine.

This doesn't fill me with confidence in SPL management. I would have thought they would have sorted this fundamental issue very early in the approval process.
 
Might get interesting again after today's effort.

Things are looking good for VivaGel. Their other products include: Dendrimer Drug Delivery (DEP™) which sounds promising. This product is "in partnership with pharmaceutical companies including Lilly, GSK’s Stiefel and a number of other undisclosed partners." I think this product is in Phrase One Clinical Trial.
The other product Transfection Reagents, Starpharma is looking for another partner.

10 April, Dr Jackie Fairley appeared on ABC TV "The Business". I thought that she gave a great interview and I since googled her achievements.

What I do not understand?
1): Share Price: reached a high $1.88 back in the week ending 30/4/2012 during the early stages of VivaGel. Massive drop to $0.95 26/11/2012. Lowest recent mark $0.535 19/6/2014. I was seriously considering a very small parcel. Now at $0.72 for a company that hasn't turn a profit yet?? How did it go to $1.88 back in April 2012?

2): Robert Thomas buys 50,000 units 23/6/2014, another 50,000 units 24,000 24/6/2014 which is fair enough considering the low price for this year. Dr Jackie Fairley sells 220,000 @ 25/6/2014, 40,000 @ 26/6/2014 and 100,000 @ 27/6/2014. I thought if Dr J Fairley is selling, maybe there is another drop on the way??? Another reason why I never took action during late June, early July.

Allan Gray is a substantial holder. They must see something I can't see. They are contrarian investors.

My next action??? Just sit, watch and wait for their annual report??

This is a shocking stock. Bought in at $1 plus. 3 parcels had to cut my own parcel losses while the other 2 still in grandkids trust portfolio. Disgraceful to look at. PLS is like a knight in Green fighting SPL, the villain in Red.
If Xris is reading this thread....whats your comment now? Read your "Thumb up" review for this company while my comment differs from yours....in another Forum...Hope my mate Mahail have the vision to cut this off earlier, even with heavy loss.

One of the worst performers in the ASX over the last 12 months. It's just not making a profit.
Still haven't got the BV treatment approved in the USA. Lots of long term stuff but they don't make most of it themselves and it seems the partners make most of the money. Some great cancer results but how much will they get out of it? Still plenty of cash but it keeps dwindling. Lost a bit of confidence in management.
A lot of investors hurting who will sell on any uptick.

Used to own this and it's on my radar but am thinking the market has worse to come and maybe I can pick them up for 40c a share or at least there will be a long bottoming.
Generally I am out of the market at the moment.

The replied post that was written back in July 2014. I did buy some SPL a couple of months later. Brought more in dips plus took part in one of their CRs.

Sold SPL in Aug or Sept 2019. I think it was roughly 100% gain (not a big position though). I lost faith in SPL back in 2018 but waited for a better share price.

Back then, I though management were always trying to spin stories and (over-paid) CEO always used the word “imminent”. I stopped trying to tell myself that the cash flows would improve.

I stopped following SPL since I sold. Therefore I have no valuable input for current conditions, performance or generally what this company is doing. I hope they stopped using the word imminent.
 
Good morning
Came across this info today (23/12/22):

Starpharma Holdings receives a $7.1m research and development tax incentive refund under the federal government's incentive scheme.

The tax refund relates to Starpharma’s Australian and international research and development expenses from the 2022 financial year.

“The Australian Government’s R&D Tax Incentive plays a key role in helping local companies continue to innovate and grow. Starpharma has developed three clinical stage DEP assets with high commercial and therapeutic potential as well as a portfolio of marketed products including Viraleze, a novel broad-spectrum antiviral nasal spray," Starpharma chief executive Jackie Fairley said.


Not holding

Kind regards

I Don't believe in this company. I got out maybe 2 yrs ago, loss my patience.
Unfortunately, both grandkids have this in their portfolio, only 1k worth of each parcel n this is the only Stock that drags their portfolio down.

Arvo Rabbito and Seasons Greetings.
This is the mob that Mahail was so into back in the day. I also bailed out at the loss because of their couldn't give a stuff about advertising when they were appearing to be on top of the world in Great Britain and I think moving into India. Had forgotten all about them, fortunately

Good afternoon Rabbithop
rcw1 has never held not even for fast trade purposes. Luckily it just never appealed to rcw1, correct gut feel for a change ha ha ha
Having said that one always buys something that probably ain’t to flash …

Remembered all the banter in Commsec Community about the stock when reading that article.

Have a safe and happy Christmas ? and prosperous 2023.

Kind regards

Remember Mahail sending for the nasal spray from overseas during the pandemic he was certainly pushing it
 
Good arvo farmerge,
Note, Iris posts in this thread. According to the system, last time visited ASF was on 22 March 2022. Thinking Iris is the person that could shed some light on Mahail. Reckon anyways.

Another Xmas just around the corner... An rcw1 long lost son due to arrive tonight .... The lad must want something ha ha ha ha ha ha . Jokes aside will be nice to see the lad again. Families .... and Xmas, nice.

Kind regards
