Speculative Buy

$1.30

80.56%

While leaving forecasts unchanged for Opthea, Bell Potter raises the probability of success. Along with ongoing clinical trials, management has now completed multiple commercial scale manufacturing batches of the sozinibercept drug substance.

Manufacturing has been at a commercial scale using a reproducible process that generated consistent product quality, explains the broker.

This progress suggests to the analysts management should be well placed to submit a Biologics Licence Application (BLA) package to the FDA relatively swiftly after Phase 3 topline results are available.

The Speculative Buy rating is maintained, and the target is increased to $1.30 from 70c.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus -21.40 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus -21.80 cents.
