Orthocell (ASX: OCC) ​- Growing with CelGro®

This morning NDF Research initiated coverage on Orthocell, an emerging player in the multi-billion-dollar field of regenerative medicine. 

Orthocell's unique foundation products (Ortho-ATI® for tendon repair and Ortho-ACI® for cartilage repair) provide early commercial opportunities with large addressable markets.  But, the big payday may occur this financial year with European approval (CE Mark) achieved for CelGro® and US approval to follow. CelGro® is the company’s collagen scaffold that facilitates rapid tissue regrowth across a range of indications.  We regard CelGro® as a potential breakthrough product due to its mechanical strength, natural collagen structure and versatility.  CelGro® could also enjoy rapid initial revenue in dental and orthopaedic markets - potentially accelerated by commercial partnerships with large healthcare companies.  CelGro®’s potential market is well in excess of US$2bn. Orthocell has further related and ground-breaking opportunities including its ‘Cell Factory’ project to harness stem cell growth factors.  Our target price for the company is A$1.75 per share (midpoint of base case: A$0.89 and optimistic case: A$2.63).
