A “not financially material” contract with the influential Mayo Clinic triggered another surge in the medtech’s share price. Naysayers are starting to doubt themselves.

Even by 4DMedical’s recent form, which has seen its share price surge more than 1,800% over the eight months to Tuesday’s close, a 35% rally on Wednesday was a fairly remarkable bump.

The Melbourne-based medtech company spurred a buying spree after announcing the use of its flagship lung imaging technology CT:VQ at Mayo Clinic in the US.

“I’ve probably been proven more wrong over time, I mean I have,” Cyan Investment Management founder and portfolio manager Dean Fergie told Capital Brief.

“I’ve been saying the company needs to grow into its valuation. And clearly a benchmark hospital like the Mayo Clinic is incredibly important for them.”
