Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 4 findings
−28 of −30
  • Margin
    Operating loss NOK 23m (TTM), operating margin −166%; losses every year. Q1 2026: pre-tax loss of 5.1m vs a profit of 1.9m a year earlier.
    −10
  • Quality of growth
    Revenue (NOK 13.9m TTM, +97% in 2025) is mainly project funding from the European Defence Fund – not product sales. The lead programme SIS-03 is in phase 2a with proof-of-concept data only in H1 2027.
    −8
  • Moat
    The active ingredient is hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a known substance; the moat rests on formulation and stability and is not clinically proven. In cystic fibrosis it competes with established inhaled antibiotics and CFTR modulators.
    −5
  • Capital allocation
    Equity has fallen from 110m (2021) to NOK 30m despite repeated share issues; a deferred tax asset of 84m was written off in 2025. The share count has gone from 10m (2021) to 2.6bn.
    −5

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 2 findings
−19 of −35
  • Multiples vs own history
    P/B 10.7 vs 0.3 (2024) and 6.2 (2022); EV/sales 21 vs 1.6–3.1 in 2023–24. Market value has grown from NOK 27m to 317m since the end of 2024.
    −12
  • Peers
    EV of NOK 296m for one phase 2a programme and one phase 1 programme with 2 employees and no licence deal – high vs Nordic small biotechs at the same stage.
    −7

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 6 findings
−27 of −35
  • Cash flow and dilution
    FCF −NOK 26.5m (TTM) vs cash of 21.4m (June) plus 5.75m from the July placement – less than a year of runway before PoC data arrives. Share count +33% since the end of 2024 (1.95 → 2.60bn).
    −9
  • Funding structure
    Funded through a Long State facility: tranches of 45–60m shares at NOK 0.06–0.13 every 1–2 months; primary insiders have lent shares to Long State, and in Sept 2025 the company had to explain the placement commission.
    −4
  • Execution
    The clinical focus was switched in Sept 2025 to chronic lung disease (cystic fibrosis) after earlier programmes; the value now rests on binary data in 2027.
    −6
  • Macro and regulation
    CFTR modulators reduce the need for anti-infectives in cystic fibrosis, and the path to approval for inhaled HOCl is untested; biotech funding is cyclical.
    −3
  • Key people
    Only 2 employees; development is outsourced and depends on a few people. Piotroski 2.
    −2
  • Share price risk
    Penny stock at NOK 0.12; 52-week range NOK 0.049–0.166 (+45%).
    −3

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 3 findings
+4 of +15
  • Non-dilutive funding
    The European Defence Fund (COUNTERACT consortium) funds the biodefence programme SIS-02, which started phase 1 in June 2026.
    +2
  • Net cash
    No interest-bearing debt; cash NOK 21.4m (about 7% of market value).
    +1
  • Insider buying
    Primary insider Ulrik Spork subscribed for 2.38m shares in the July placement at NOK 0.105.
    +1

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Clinical biotech with 2 employees; revenue is EU grants, not sales; ongoing dilution via the Long State facility; cash lasts under a year; PoC data only in H1 2027; no analysts
