In a May 4 research note, Noble Capital Markets Inc. Senior Research Analyst Joe Gomes reported that life sciences company Avivagen Inc. (VIV:TSX.V; VIVXF:OTCQB), which develops and commercializes natural feed products for livestock, companion animals and humans, just received a purchase order for 72 tons of its antibiotic-free OxC-beta™ Livestock from its consultant in Mexico, Meyenberg International.
The analyst advised that the order from Meyenberg included a 500-kilogram shipment that was delivered on April 30. The new order comes with a commitment to purchase at least 4 tons each month over 18 months beginning in July 2021 and ending in October 2022. According to the analyst, the contract will add around US$2.4 million of revenue for Avivagen in 2021.
The analyst said that this new order from Meyenberg is serving to drive momentum in large bulk orders for Avivagen's feed products. Gomes noted that on April 26, the company announced it received a purchase order for a single 4.4-metric-ton shipment of OxC-beta Livestock, which was the largest single shipment order for OxC-beta to date.
"We expect additional orders as successful commercial trials conclude in jurisdictions where OxC-beta Livestock is approved. There are numerous commercial trials currently underway and nearing completion and it our belief the successful conclusion of these trial will help to accelerate the adoption and use of OxC-beta Livestock," the analyst wrote.
Noble Capital Markets noted that it believes that Avivagen "presents a favorable risk/reward proposition," as it appears that the company "is at an inflection point with significant sales increases just around the corner."
Noble Capital Markets advised that it is maintaining its Outperform rating for Avivagen with a 12-month price target of US$1.00/share. The company's shares trade under the ticker symbol VIVXF on the US-OTCQB market and are trading at around US$0.40.
