Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

Monitor for clinical trial updates on Multikine as the primary catalyst for any upside. The 30-day lock-up on further issuance provides a temporary floor, but the high dilution and micro-cap status suggest continued volatility. Watch for any subsequent capital raises after the lock-up expires.

Executive Summary

CEL-SCI Corporation closed a best-efforts public offering of 6,000,000 shares at $1.20 per share, raising $7.2 million in gross proceeds to fund continued development of its lead candidate Multikine and for working capital. The offering represents significant dilution for a micro-cap clinical-stage biotech with no approved products, but provides near-term cash runway extension.
