Bull points
- During the quarter, we made meaningful progress advancing our lead obesity programs toward the clinic, strengthening our balance sheet, and sharpening our strategic focus, as Steve mentioned, through the sub-licensing of our Dry Eyes Disease Clinical Candidate, PL9643.
- In addition, we successfully regained compliance with the New York Stock Exchange American Listing Standards and our Common Stock Resume Trading under the symbol PTM, restoring market visibility and liquidity.
- In summary, Paladin enters 2026 with a strengthened financial position, multiple partnerships with near-term milestones, and a focused differentiated OPC pipeline. We believe this positions the company to pursue substantial long-term value creation.
