Opthea ( (AU:OPT) ) just unveiled an update.

Opthea Limited has notified the Australian Securities Exchange that a total of 4,451,086 options and related conditional rights have ceased, comprising 4,000,000 options that expired unexercised on 19 October 2025 and a further 451,086 conditional rights that lapsed on 11 November 2025 after conditions were not met. The cessation of these securities results in a modest simplification of Opthea’s capital structure and signals that a portion of previously potential equity dilution will no longer occur, which may slightly alter dilution expectations for existing shareholders but does not, on its face, indicate any change to the company’s underlying operations or development programs.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:OPT) stock is a Sell with a A$0.56 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Opthea stock, see the AU:OPT Stock Forecast page.
