Investment Windfall: Pacific Edge Stock Jumps 18%

 

Pacific Edge Limited [NZX: PEB] has benefited from a burst of optimism today, causing the share price to leap over 18%.

Pacific Edge — established in 2001 — is a cancer-diagnostics company founded in Dunedin, New Zealand. They specialise in genetic-biomarker testing known as CxBladder. This process is non-invasive and able to detect the presence of cancerous cells in urine.

Pacific Edge has a market capitalisation of $407 million. The share price currently sits at $0.69.

 

Why has the [NZX: PEB] share price surged today?

 

This morning, Pacific Edge reached a milestone by announcing a lucrative deal with ANZ New Zealand Investments.

Chris Gallaher issued the following statement:

‘The investment from ANZ New Zealand Investments adds further depth to the Company’s share register and is a reflection of the growing investor interest in Pacific Edge following our recent achievement of two major commercial milestones in the USA. The suite of Cxbladder products are rapidly being accepted as an alternative to many of the traditional testing options for bladder cancer. This additional growth capital will accelerate our commercial progress and allows us to execute on our future growth opportunities, therefore adding value for all shareholders.’

This positive development reinforces a string of successful moves in recent months:

 

Where could [NZX:PEB] go from here?

 

ANZ New Zealand Investments is the country’s largest fund-manager — with $33 billion under management.

Their commitment to Pacific Edge shows a measure of positivity. The company’s long-term prospects in the American market appear to be attractive.

However, for prospective investors, some caution is still needed.

Our analysis indicates:

This makes Pacific Edge a speculative investment with a potentially volatile share price. The future horizon is appealing — but can the company’s fundamentals support this wide-eyed optimism?

Discerning investors should approach this stock with caution.
