Irish digital medical technology firm HealthBeacon announced today its intention to trade on the Euronext Growth Market from next Wednesday.

The float price will be €5.85 per ordinary share and more than 4.27 million shares will be issued.  

All in, the fully diluted market capitalisation values HealthBeacon at €100m.

HealthBeacon says the initial public offering (IPO), supported by a €25m investor funding round including venture capital investor Bill McCabe, should be effective from 8 in the morning of 15 December.

Self-administer sales targets in place 

HealthBeacon says its aim is to make its products accessible to people managing at-home injectable medications. The IPO is part-designed to support the acceleration of the company’s growth strategy, scaling sales and marketing and ongoing tech development.

Robert Garber, independent non-executive chairman of HealthBeacon said the Dublin listing “is a game-changer for the business, enabling it to further scale its unique product for its customers”.

“The proceeds raised through this IPO,” adds CEO and co-founder Jim Joyce, “will enable us to scale to meet potential demand, as we anticipate a ten-fold increase in the number of patients using our injection care management system by the end of 2023.” 

“As we embark on our next chapter as a public company, we are excited about the potential of our target market and the proven ability for our product to meaningfully increase medical adherence for patients in a safe and sustainable way.”

HealthBeacon, founded in 2013, is thought to have further design and utility patents in place.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
