MedinCell (ENXTPA:MEDCL) has been in focus after partner Teva filed a New Drug Application with the U.S. FDA for its olanzapine long acting injectable, which is built on MedinCell’s BEPO technology.

The latest regulatory milestone appears to have reignited interest in MedinCell, with the 1 day share price return of 3.85 percent and a 90 day share price return of 41.39 percent contributing to a robust 1 year total shareholder return of 77.19 percent. This suggests that momentum is building rather than fading.
If this kind of catalyst driven story appeals to you, it might also be worth exploring other innovative healthcare stocks that could be setting up for their own next leg higher.
With shares already up sharply over the past year and analysts still seeing upside to their price targets, the key question now is whether MedinCell remains undervalued or if the market is already pricing in its future growth.
With MedinCell last closing at €27.50 against a narrative fair value near €34.39, the story leans toward substantial upside if assumptions hold.
U.S. patent extensions for UZEDY (to 2042) and Olanzapine LAI (to 2044) significantly prolong periods of exclusivity, protecting pricing power and supporting higher net margins and long-term earnings visibility than may be reflected in the current stock price.
Curious how a loss making company can be modeled with soaring margins, rapid top line expansion and a premium future earnings multiple, yet still look underpriced on paper? The full narrative unpacks the aggressive growth path, the step change in profitability and the valuation bridge that connects today’s share price to those ambitious forecasts.
Result: Fair Value of $34.39 (UNDERVALUED)

However, the thesis could unravel if regulatory approvals slip or UZEDY and Olanzapine LAI underperform commercially, which could pressure revenues and future earnings assumptions.
