Medicus Pharma: High-Risk, But Higher Reward For Their Potential Breakthrough Skin Cancer Treatment

Summary

• Medicus Pharma offers high-risk, high-reward potential, with its novel SkinJect patch for basal cell carcinoma and recent Antev acquisition expanding its pipeline.
• Strong insider/institutional backing and leadership with skin in the game are positives, but ongoing heavy dilution and cash burn are major concerns.
• FDA approval for SkinJect and Antev's assets is at least two years away; revenue generation is unlikely before 2027-2028, requiring investor patience.
• I rate Medicus a speculative buy for long-term investors, but highlight significant dilution risk and recommend only a small, high-conviction position.
