Recent developments equals happy investors?
A little month ago, its share rose with 35% on the premarket after expanding its exclusive license agreements with Ocumension Therapeutics for the development and commercialization of YUTIQ and DEXYCU in well-known developing Asian markets. Thanks to the expanded agreements, Ocumension Therapeutics made a single $9.5 million payment for the rights to commercialize both products with their own brand names in South Korea and several Asian regions. Earlier this year in January, the companies signed an agreement for the commercialization of DEXYCU. The area contains the post-operative inflammation in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Investors have been more than positive about Eyepoint on social media in recent weeks. If the mood was considered to be a gauge, then all the lights would hit the green. Based on this matter it would give the share a buy status. This could be the result of a recent announcement of the company about the participation at several upcoming Investor Conferences. The frequency of contributions to a share provides an indication of whether the company is currently attracting a lot of interest from investors. Recently there was less discussion than usual about Eyepoint and as a result the attention decreased. This results in a sell status. If these figures are weighed against each other, the final verdict is still a buy status. Also it can be taken in consideration that with the upcoming Investor Conferences more attention is gained.
