Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Edesa Biotech, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development, manufacture, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products for inflammatory and immune-related diseases, with a market cap of $6.71 million.
Operations: Edesa Biotech, Inc. currently does not report any revenue segments.
Market Cap: $6.71M
Edesa Biotech, a pre-revenue company with a market cap of US$6.71 million, faces significant challenges as highlighted by its auditor’s going concern doubts. Despite having no debt and an experienced management team, the company is unprofitable with increasing losses over the past five years and forecasts indicating further earnings decline. Recent capital raises through private placements and equity offerings have temporarily extended its cash runway but shareholder dilution remains a concern. The stock’s high volatility underscores investor uncertainty, compounded by an inability to achieve profitability within the next three years according to consensus estimates.
