Justification

***Edited 09/11/2025***

There has been some good news and milestones achieved since May 2025, which I think are ultimately de-risking for Anteris. However, I was perhaps too optimistic about potential dilution. It appears the market is also concerned about this. I’m redoing my valuation to account for it. I’m assuming average capital to be raised at $7.50 USD (which is where the bulk of outstanding options have their strike price).

Assumptions by 2032 (all in USD until the end)

  • Approximately 15,000 DurAVR valves sold per year (about a 10% capture of a conservative estimate of the USA TAVR market).
  • Approximately $30,000 in sales per unit with a profit margin of 50%.
  • Cash burn of $100 million USD per year until 2032 (6 x $100m = $600m).
  • Cash obtained from issue of new capital at average of $7.50 USD per share ($600/$7.50 =80 million new shares.).
  • About 120 million shares on issue (up from approximately 40 million today — so about 200% dilution).
  • P/E of 15 (again conservative based on growth and runway assumed).
  • Gravy not included: Europe; Valve-in-Valve; and any premium unit pricing due to clinical superiority.


15,000 x 15,000 = 225,000,000 earnings

225,000,000 x 15 = $3,375,000,000

3,375/120 = $28.125 per share price

Discounted back by 10% per year to today = $15.87 USD or about $24.45 AUD.

Again, same caveats about the large number of variables — which I maintain are all very conservative. For the record also I don’t actually expect dilution to be this bad. Rather, I’m more making the point that even if it is, there is still value at today’s prices.

  • Approximately $30,000 in sales per unit with a profit margin of 50%.
  • About 60 million shares on issue (up from approximately 38 million today — to factor in remaining options and any further dilutive capital).
  • P/E of 15 (again conservative based on growth and runway assumed).
  • Gravy not included: Europe; Valve-in-Valve; and any premium unit pricing due to clinical superiority.


15,000 x 15,000 = 225,000,000 earnings

225,000,000 x 15 = $3,375,000,000

3,375/60 =$56.25 per share price

Discounted back by 10% per year to today = $28.86 USD or about $44.00 AUD.

It’s my lowest valuation for a while, but that isn’t a reflection of any wavering conviction. I just wanted to state the case for value very simply this time. My actual investment thesis involves much loftier assumptions, whereas this is just my starting point. You can see how it doesn’t take much optimistic tweaking of any of the variables to generate some pretty staggering potential outcomes.

Thanks for the valuation. It's a useful demonstration of the potential upside

Most of your assumptions are fairly conservative (which is obviously good).

The one criticism I have is that you are assuming a 100% chance of the trial being successful. I fully agree that things look promising. But there is still a risk of some problem showing up. AVR still has a non-trivial chance of being worth ZERO. Position size should reflect that

[I should know, I lost far too much on Opthea. Never again]

I agree @Goldfish . Implicit in my assumption of future US revenue in 2032 is that the trial is a success, otherwise no sales are possible.

That’s a bit of a binary outcome in my book so it doesn’t come into my valuation at this late stage — I suppose it is still part of the investment thesis. Not too helpful as a thesis breaker but because I will find out at the same time as the market if that’s the case.

Agree also that conviction is reflected in portfolio allocation. Mine is high, and so is my allocation on SM and IRL.
