  • DEXAVEN (dexamethasone phosphate) is a corticosteroid that decreases inflammation.
  • The healthcare company continues to test its drugs across the world to find out if it may reach a breakthrough to provide more treatment options for SARS-CoV-2. However, Dexamethasone-based drugs have failed to receive the US FDA’s approval.
  • The Laval-based pharmaceutical company’s stocks have soared over 23 per cent in the last three months. The drug manufacturer has nearly 355 million issued shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). Its current market cap stands at approximately C$ 9 billion. The stock has a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 11.958 and a present price-to-cashflow ratio of 7.50, as per the TMX portal.
  • The stock’s debt-to-equity is 41.47; however, the company announced on December 29 through its exchange filing that they will pay all its debt or mandatory amortization payments by 2024. The drug maker is expected to repay nearly C$ 900 million of debt this year.
