Diurnal Group (DNL): Initiation - Improving treatments for endocrine disorders

We are initiating coverage on Diurnal Group, which is developing and commercialising multiple products from the class of steroid hormones. The company's first product, Alkindi, is marketed in the United States and Europe and it is aiming to launch its second product, Chronocort, in 2021. These products are oral formulations of hydrocortisone developed to treat disorders of the adrenal glands. Additionally, Diurnal is developing an oral testosterone, DITEST, which will be re-entering the clinic in 2021. We are initiating with a valuation of £199.6m or 144p per basic share.

 

Our initial valuation is £199.6m or 144p per basic share, driven primarily by Chronocort, which we value at £157m. Diurnal ended 2020 with £20.3m in cash, and we expect it to need £25m in additional capital to reach profitability in FY24.

The Hardman & Co Monthly: September 2022

Feature article: Macro issues dominate investor sentiment - Some basics for investors The big topics in the investment world at the moment seem to be macroeconomic. With that in mind, we thought it would be useful to revisit some of the basics of the terms being used in the current environment, and to remind investors of the things to look out for (indeed, many younger investors may not have come across some of these influences in their investing lifetime): • Recession does not affect ...

The Hardman & Co Monthly: August 2022

Feature article: Utility regulation – Changes afoot - Patching up a tainted model While the gas supply crisis – and its price implications – have dominated the UK price regulated sectors in recent months, other issues have arisen that have seriously tainted the price regulation system itself. Indeed, it is fair to ask whether it is ‘’fit for purpose’’. Back in 1984, price regulation, via an unsophisticated RPI-x formula, was introduced to prevent the privatised British Telecom (BT) from abusin...
