COMPANY SNAPSHOT

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Nascent Biotech, Inc. is a biotechnology company developing proprietary human Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) and immunotherapy for treatment of cancer. The Company’s primary focus is the development of Pritumumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody for oncology indications and on cells infected by viruses such as coronaviruses. Pritumumab recognizes a unique antigen expressed on the surface of cancer cells and may be on cells infected by coronaviruses. Thus, Pritumumab is currently being developed to treat brain, pancreatic cancers and COVID-19.

Conclusion: We believe NBIO offers considerable 30-day upside for opportunistic investors, given upcoming milestones for NBIO’s COVID-19 testing in progress and Cancer therapy development. Based on our analysis, NBIO’s shares could reach the $0.50 mark, if not higher, with greater gains throughout 2020, as additional milestones occur.

Catalyst Background: Due to the current health pandemic, investors are rabid for companies making legitimate, meaningful headway in the fight against COVID-19. The Company’s lead therapeutic candidate, based on information published in the Journal of Biomedical Science, may have an impact in treatment of coronaviruses. Pritumumab may have the ability to interfere with the virus’ binding to target cells, thus possibly eliminating deadly effects.

Ahead of Competition?  Results of in vitro testing are forthcoming and if favorable, should direct future development activity, thus driving share interest, volume, and value. This is especially the case if preclinical work from cancer research is deemed applicable to viral infections. 

Valuation: At current levels, we believe that NBIO’s market value reflects its status as a preclinical cancer immunotherapy firm only, despite its present transition from preclinical to clinical status. Moreover, since NBIO is very much under the radar, the Street has assigned little to no value for its COVID-19 potential, which is considerable. Even @ $0.50, the share price undervalues the potential for multiple, major indications that would serve COVID-19 and oncology patients’ unmet needs. Separately, our near-term target could prove to be too low given the appetite for COVID-19 related stocks. Just yesterday Moleculin Biotech (NASDAQ – MBRX -$1.27) more than doubled on over 160M traded shares.
