BALTIMORE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2023 / Goldman Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm specializing in the small cap and microcap sectors, announced today that it has published a new research report on OKYO Pharma Limited (NASDAQ:OKYO), an emerging player in the fast-growing ophthalmic drugs segment. The Goldman report carries a price target. To view the new research report, along with disclosures and disclaimers, or to download the report in its entirety, please visit: https://bit.ly/44Ix98P.

Tracing its roots to 2018, OKYO is focused on the discovery and development of novel molecules to treat inflammatory dry eye diseases and chronic pain. Its topical solution and lead candidate OK-101 seeks to treat dry eye disease (DED), an estimated $5.5 billion global market. OKYO recently commenced a multi-center, multi-arm, Phase II clinical trial in the US.

In the Opportunity Research report, analyst Rob Goldman reviews OKYO's lead candidate, the Company's positioning, inherent opportunities in the industry vi-a-vis current therapies, upcoming milestones and how these milestones and the flurry of M&A in the segment can favorably impact OKYO's near term and long term valuations.

Innovative BioPharma Set to Leverage Unique Product Positioning

Goldman commented, "OKYO is poised to emerge as a key player in the Dry Eye Disease (DED) treatment market. Based on its preclinical studies, we believe OKYO's lead candidate could offer advantages over existing FDA approved therapies, which are not viewed favorably by clinicians. These OKYO advantages include fewer side effects, along with reduced inflammation and pain."

Upcoming Milestone Could Serve as Catalyst for Re-Valuation

"OKYO just commenced a Phase II clinical trial with the objective of measuring safety and efficacy of OK-101 in DED patients, along with secondary endpoints such as ocular pain. A serious issue among a number of DED sufferers is that there is no FDA approved product for neuropathic pain which could be an indication for OKYO in subsequent trials and studies," noted Goldman. "Importantly, top-line data from the trial is scheduled for release by year-end 2023 and serves as a major milestone for OKYO. We believe it is the catalyst for a re-valuation of the stock and for a mid-tier or top-tier firm to enter into a partnership with OKYO."

6-9 Month Price Target, Future Valuations Led by Future Activity, Industry M&A

"Our 6-9-month price target for OKYO is based on the NPV of forecasted sales, a discounted price/sales multiple, discounted back five years at a reasonable rate. Separately, investors may not have noticed that the ocular treatment segment has garnered major attention of late. A flurry of M&A has occurred at high valuations, and OKYO's peers also reflect these high valuation characteristics. We believe OKYO could emulate this trend in the future," concluded Goldman.
