Hvad så nu din aktiebav(a)(r)ian? I det 25. afsnit af #pengemedper får jeg igen besøg af chefen for IR hos Bavarian Nordic, Rolf Sass Sørensen. Anledningen er den noget kedelige, at et ekspertpanel for et par uger siden vurderede, at data fra Prostvac ikke var stærke nok til at retfærdiggøre den videre færd i fase 3 med en monobehandling mod Prostatakræft. Aktien blev på dagen skåret midt over i 2 omtrent lige små halvdele. Prostvac – attraktiv i kombinationsbehandling? Vi har hørt meget om Prostvac og konsekvenserne af, at det ikke bliver muligt at markedsføre den, som en monobehandling. Selv om dataene var overraskende og skuffende, har monobehandlingen ikke været den som Bavarian Nordic selv har lagt mest vægt på. Hør mere om hvorfor. Hør derudover mere om: • Hvad er status? • Har de skuffende resultater rokket ved jeres tillid til andre projekter? • Har Prostvac betydet noget for jeres partnerrelationer? • Tidsmæssig opdatering: Hvornår kommer der nyt om Prostvac data og næste skridt for CV-301 og RSV? • Status på det finansielle beredskab? • Feed back på kapitalmarkedsdag i New York
I afsnit 13 af #pengemedper skal det dreje sig om biotek og en af de private aktiefavoritter; Dagens gæst kommer fra et selskab, som bl.a. laver vacciner og håber at have fundet den bedste behandling mod prostatakræft. Men Bavarian Nordic er meget andet end blot Prostvac. I studiet er jeg sammen med chefen for Investor Relations Rolf Sass Sørensen. Du kan bl.a. høre om • Hvorfor Bavarian er andet og mere end kun koppevacciner og Prostvac • Hvor Bavarian Nordic ser op til Genmab • Hvorfor der er gode synergier mellem de enkelte aktiviteter i Bavarian Nordic • Og meget andet Sidst men ikke mindst kan du høre, hvad Rolf Sass Sørensens syn og anbefaling var på Genmab, da han tidligere var aktieanalytiker.
