The latest announcement is out from Mediwound ( (MDWD) ).

On April 2, 2026, MediWound reported that its North American partner Vericel secured a ten-year BARDA contract, effective April 1, 2026, valued at up to $197 million for NexoBrid. The base $35 million portion includes about $10 million over the next year for initial NexoBrid procurement for the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile and for establishing a vendor-managed inventory system, as well as funds for early development toward a blast trauma indication.

According to Vericel, the agreement also provides options for additional NexoBrid stockpile purchases, expanded clinical work on blast trauma, design and validation of a potential U.S. manufacturing site, and development of a room-temperature-stable formulation. The award deepens NexoBrid’s role in U.S. burn and trauma preparedness and underscores MediWound’s strategic positioning in government-funded emergency stockpiles, with potential long-term benefits for demand, manufacturing scale, and product lifecycle extension.

Spark’s Take on MDWD Stock

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

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (shrinking/volatile revenue, large losses, and sustained negative free cash flow) and a technically weak price trend (below key moving averages with negative MACD). The earnings call provides a partial offset via reaffirmed multiyear guidance, manufacturing expansion and trial progress, but execution, funding, and regulatory timing risks remain meaningful; valuation is also constrained by ongoing losses and no dividend yield data.
