Traders should monitor the Q3 2026 data readout for Piclidenoson's efficacy in dogs, which could trigger upward momentum if positive. The $325M deal underscores commercial validation and de-risks part of Can-Fite's pipeline. Given the company's $4M market cap, any positive outcome could lead to substantial upside.
