PTN - Movement on News, Article and YouTube VideosI just created this chart to better understand how PTN moved on the big spike recently. Seems like it didn't take much, just a Yahoo article after the positive dry eye news and then a few YouTube videos.
Here are the links to the article and videos:

Potential Upcoming Catalysts

Vyleesi - Korea PK
Vyleesi - China PK
PL9643 - PH2/3 Initiate
Diabetic Retinopathy - File IND

Vyleesi - Multiple ROW deals
Vyleesi - NA deal
I would watch for the recent dry eye news or one of the above catalysts to result in another spike after new articles and videos are published.
Palatin Technologies - Breaking out of falling wedge?Let's see if volume confirms this breakout. A lot going on with this company right now. I believe with the Key Opinion Leader webinar tomorrow they are trying to increase institutional buying and possibly analyst coverage. Volatility with the stock over the past 5 years has allowed quite a bit of opportunity to repeatedly buy below .60 and sell above 1.20.
PTN set to make a bullish comeback Looking at the pattern between the buy and sell periods, it looks like maybe one more step sown or continued accumulation before the buy set up is initiated. Looking at an end of april to a begining of june bull run for ptn and with the upcoming catalysts, shoud see a price increase from 1.50-2.75
Palatin Technologies - Bullish OutlookPalatin Technologies is a little known pharmaceutical company that specializes in the development of peptide drugs.
Palatin Technologies (PTN) is severely undervalued with a Market Cap of about $180 Million as of 3/17/21.
Palatin has $72.2 Million in cash on hand as of 12/31/2020, and no debt.*
Palatin owns and recently began marketing FDA Approved Vyleesi, a drug to treat Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in women. The drug also has potential to be studied for additional indications such as Erectile Disfunction in men.
In December 2020, Palatin informed investors that they received positive results for the their PH2 dry eye drug study PL9643. According to the company, “PL9643 is a efficacious as Restasis® and several orders of magnitude more potent”.*
*Source: palatin.com//assets/Palatin_Corp_Prest_March-2021-Final.pdf
Like many other biotech companies, Palatin has relied on dilutive financing options to fund operations and pipeline development.
During the period from June 30, 2016 until about June 30,2018 the outstanding share amount nearly tripled from 68,568,055 shares to a whopping 200,554,205 shares.* This was due primarily to the exercise of a substantial amount of warrants with a $.01 exercise price (penny warrants).
These warrants resulted in heavy downward pressure on the stock price.
*Sources sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000911216/000165495416002272/ptn_10k.htm
sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000911216/000165495418010150/ptn_10k.htm
Despite the heavy downward pressure from the penny warrants, the stock price of PTN was able to climb from below $.30 in April 2017 to reach a high above $1.50 in April of 2018. This was due to a string of good news* including the following:
Positive phase 3 data for Vyleesi (bremelanotide).
Signing of a licensing agreement for Vyleesi with AMAG Pharmaceuticals for the North America Territory.
Signing of a licensing agreement for Vyleesi with Fosun for the China Territory.
Signing of a licensing agreement for Vyleesi with Kwangdong for the Korea Territory.
*Source: palatin.com/investors/press-releases
In the Palatin’s FORM 10-K For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 it was disclosed that there were no more penny warrants outstanding.*
As a result, the huge downward pressure of the penny warrants on the stock price was eliminated.

Palatin is sitting pretty today…
Vyleesi remains a valuable asset that can be relicensed to a new partner for North American rights and ROW rights as well.
Their dry eye drug is looking promising as well and they recently applied for an international patent for the drug.
They also have a few other drug programs in the pipeline including other ocular indications, cardiovascular indications and inflammatory bowel disease.
The company has a healthy balance sheet with no debt and cash on hand of $72.2 Million as of December 31, 2020.
The closing price of the stock was $.7683 on 3/17/21.
Where Palatin Technologies could go moving forward:
Although they are having ongoing discussions, Palatin management has stated that they believe partnership talks for North American rights will ramp up later in the year for Vyleesi as well as for the rest of the world territories.
Palatin is continuing to move forward with its PL9643 dry eye drug. The CEO of Palatin indicated in the Q1 2021 conference call that they “have had preliminary discussions with potentially larger companies that would be interested in a dry eye product.”*
I believe if development of PL9643 continues to move forward it will catch the eyes of larger players in the industry and a partnership, asset purchase, or buyout of the company will occur. Novartis purchased Xiidra for $3.4 Billion upfront and up to $1.9 Billion in milestone payments.**
The company is in a similar spot to where they were at before licensing Vyleesi to AMAG, but now they have the PL9643 dry eye drug with promising potential, as well as a few other drugs in the pipeline.

**Source: eyewire.news/articles/novartis-to-acquire-dry-eye-drug-xiidra-in-deal-worth-up-to-5-3-billion/
Potential upcoming catalysts:
North America relicensing of Vyleesi.
ROW licensing of Vyleesi.
Developments of Vyleesi in existing licensed territories or China and Korea.
Announcement on next eye indications (Anterior and Retinal Indications).
Funding for a potential drug that treats effects in the lungs of COVID-19.
Phase 2 clinical trials for the dry eye drug and an IBD (ulcerative colitis) drug.
With cash in the bank, and with Vyleesi and PL9643 moving forward, PTN is severely undervalued.
Palatin produced a string of good news in a period of heavy downward pressure on the stock price from penny warrants. Despite the downward pressure the stock still managed to move from about $.30 to over $1.50.
If Palatin can produce a string of good news again we should see a much more significant move upward, now that downward penny warrant pressure is off.
My One-Year price target is $5.00 ($1.37 Billion Market Cap).

Solid CUP and HANDLE Canaccord Genuity analyst John Newman maintained a Buy rating on Palatin Technologies yesterday and set a price target of $3.00.
According to TipRanks.com, Newman is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 24.5% and a 44.8% success rate. Newman covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Global Blood Therapeutics, Hutchison China MediTech, and Allogene Therapeutics.
Currently, the analyst consensus on Palatin Technologies is a Strong Buy with an average price target of $2.17, a 442.5% upside from current levels. In a report released yesterday, H.C. Wainwright also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $2.00 price target.
Perfect CUP and HANDLE structure, massive potential upside!!Analysts have a price target between $2 and $3.
Earnings report on 17 Feb 2021.
They launch their first FDA-approved product Vyleesi to market in Q3 of 2020 which could potentially help 6 million women suffering from HSDD in the USA alone. This product generated $800 million in sales in Q3 and will grow over time as Palatin is currently the only company offering medicine for HSDD on the market.
Also, they have a second potential billion-dollar product in the pipeline that could hit the market in 2021 which treats DED and has 16 million cases in the USA.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $82.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $43.5 million as of June 30, 2019, and no debt.
Their short-term liabilities are on average around €5 million.
Besides this, the chart looks very bullish as it shows an almost perfect CUP and HANDLE structure. Giving the current mania in the market I wouldn't be surprised if this blows up after some positive news from their earnings report on 17 Feb.
I am not a financial advisor, always do your own due diligence before buying any stock.
This stock could potentially drop -50%, always add a stop-loss in penny stocks like this.
