Published on 10/07/2026 at 07:27 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSOramed Pharmaceuticals stock (ISIN US68403P2039) fell 3.74 percent to USD 4.38 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET. The move puts the biotechnology company below the average analyst target of USD 7.14 reported by Fintel on September 15, 2026.
Targets moved higher in September
Fintel said the average one-year target rose from USD 6.38 to USD 7.14, a 12.00 percent increase. The latest target range ran from USD 7.07 to USD 7.35, leaving the average target 62.99 percent above the October 6 price of USD 4.38.
The target revision is a forward-looking analyst measure rather than company guidance. Fintel also reported Q2 2026 actual EPS of USD 1.84 against an estimated USD 0.4386, a positive surprise of 319.52 percent.
Quarterly figures show a sharp EPS swing
The Q2 2026 EPS figure stands out because Oramed's revenue was reported at USD 0.00 for the same period by Fintel. That combination makes the earnings comparison dependent on the composition of the quarter's result rather than on sales growth.
MarketBeat reported on October 2, 2026, that CFO Avraham Gabay sold 20,000 shares at an average price of USD 4.51 for USD 90,200. The same report described a consensus Hold rating based on one analyst and cited quarterly EPS of negative USD 0.09 against a USD 0.43 estimate, which differs from Fintel's Q2 2026 figures.
