Ocugen advances GA Phase 3, RMAT designation, and MENA RP licensing with cash runway to 2028

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Multiple near-term catalysts (GA Phase 3 start, RMAT, OCU400 MENA license, PPQ progress, and data readouts) could drive re-rating. Financing reduces liquidity risk, potentially enabling faster execution and signaling confidence to investors. Historical parallels show equity moves around RMAT decisions and near-term readouts driving mid-term repricing, though execution risk and funding remain key caveats.
