A bright future in aging - HOLD - TP 11,9€

In its IPO on Alternext Paris in mid-July 2015, Biophytis issued 1,672,500 new shares at the price of €6 per share, corresponding to an around €10m capital increase. Following this and profiting from the good performance of the share, Biophytis raised additional funds through the issue of 666,700 new shares to a North American investor for a total of €6m. The company has consequently raised €16m, close to the amount that we felt was needed at the time of the IPO. Biophytis therefore has the means to finance its strategy. Our valuation currently equals €11.9 per share, significantly higher than the IPO price due to a WACC of 13.8% vs. 15.3%. We have a NEUTRAL rating while waiting for the authorisation (expected by mid-2016) for the start of the phase II-b studies.
