Electro-Optical Sciences: A Speculative Stock with Great Potential [View article]
they don't charge for the device. the device costs $25K and remains the property of EOS. they are thinking about charging $5K for the installation and maintenance. they will make their money from the memory cards where the images are stored and share the revenues from the cards with the physician. it's a great product and a very good commercialisation approach that benefits all stakeholders. approval is almost certain. my only concern is on the valuation. based on my assumptions for penetration and utilisation with an expected IRR of 25% this stock is worth $6-15. but it's worth a bet, especially as it is an attractive acquisition target. i don't have any positions on them but I am following closely.
