| Jan 14 | Clinical presentation | Positive | +0.0% | Planned AACR 2026 presentation on blood-based mRNA signature for PDAC detection. |
| Jan 05 | Program update | Positive | +9.5% | Review of 2025 highlights including strong CRC and pancreatic program data. |
| Dec 02 | Commercial partnership | Positive | +2.6% | ColoAlert added to DoctorBox digital health platform for broader German access. |

Recent news often produced aligned reactions: funding and highly dilutive financing drew selling, while positive clinical and commercial updates more often saw modest gains, though some positive items drew muted or negative moves.
Over the last few months, Mainz Biomed has balanced financing needs with clinical and commercial progress. A $6.0 million private placement and highly dilutive preferred stock financing on Feb 17, 2026 coincided with a -15.58% move. Earlier, 2025 highlights featuring strong colorectal and pancreatic data and new partnerships led to reactions from +9.48% to modest gains. Today’s pancreatic biomarker presentation at DDW extends the theme of advancing its blood-based detection platform within an already pressured share price context.
