14 Apr 2025 08:45 CEST

Chassieu (France), 14 April 2025 – 8.45 a.m. - Amoéba (FR0011051598 - ALMIB ), an industrial green tech company specialized in the development of natural microbiological solutions based on the patented exploitation of amoebae, announces that the research department of the Belgian financial services group KBC Securities has initiated the coverage of its stock.

KBC Securities has initiated coverage of the stock as part of a study entitled “An amoebalicious adventure from fungus fighters to wrinkle warriors”, with a Buy recommendation and a target price of €1.70 per share (i.e. a potential increase of more than 80% compared to the closing price on 11 April 2025).

The study can be consulted by clicking here or on the company's website (Investor documents).

As a reminder, the Amoéba stock is also being covered by the French research firm Euroland Corporate, which also issued a Buy recommendation[1].

Benoît Villers, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Amoéba, said: “Amoéba has changed dimension profoundly over the last few months, with the favourable opinion for the approval of our active substance by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in biocontrol with Koppert and another in cosmetics in China signed with Metron Technology (subsidiary of the Oriental Beauty Valley Group). It is now important for us to expand our investor base to promote this new profile, and we are counting in particular on the international reach of KBC Securities to enable us to meet new investors and convince them to join us.”

About Amoéba:

Founded in 2010, Amoéba is a greentech company based in Chassieu (Lyon, France) whose ambition is to become a major player in the treatment of microbiological risk based on the patented use of amoebae in the plant protection and cosmetics sectors.

With know-how that is unique in the world and protected by numerous patents, Amoéba is currently the only company capable of exploiting the full potential of the Willaertia amoeba on an industrial scale and growing it in sufficient volumes to offer biological solutions that constitute a viable alternative to the chemical products widely used today. Amoéba is currently focusing on the global biocontrol market for plant protection and the cosmetics market. As the marketing of plant protection products is subject to obtaining local regulatory approvals, the Company has taken the necessary regulatory steps and in 2022 obtained approval for its active substance in the USA as well as the recommendation for approval in Europe issued by the Austrian authority. Cosmetic applications do not require prior approval from a competent authority in Europe or the United States.
