An update from BioHarvest Sciences ( (BHST) ) is now available.

BioHarvest Sciences said on May 12, 2026 that its CDMO division has signed a US$1.2 million Stage 2 contract in a multi-stage program to develop a rare scent-producing plant for the global fragrance industry, following completion of Stage 1 in March 2026. The source plant’s raw material is among the world’s most valuable fragrances, with demand growing in the Middle East, Asia and luxury Western markets, and Stage 2 is expected to yield enough material for commercial trials within six to nine months.

Under the agreement, BioHarvest retains 20% ownership of the compositions developed and will also act as manufacturer, positioning the company for a long-term, royalty-based revenue stream as the cell bank advances toward commercialization. Management said the contract, signed with a prominent UAE-based investment group aiming for commercialization in the second half of 2027, underscores that the key technological hurdle has been cleared and could catalyze additional fragrance programs, supporting BioHarvest’s push into the US$23 billion premium fragrance segment of the wider scents and fragrances market.

Spark’s Take on BHST Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BHST is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial quality (ongoing losses and sustained cash burn) and bearish technicals (price below major moving averages with negative MACD). These are partially offset by a constructive earnings-call outlook featuring strong growth, margin improvement, a much stronger cash position, and 2026 profitability/revenue acceleration targets.
