On August 20, 2026, Avricore’s HealthTab subsidiary signed a multi-year collaboration agreement with global healthcare group Abbott to supply and distribute Abbott’s point-of-care testing products across UK community pharmacies. The deal initially centres on deploying the Afinion 2 analyzer in NHS-linked pharmacies for HbA1c and lipid profile testing, anchoring a structured framework for broader pharmacy-based point-of-care expansion in the country. HealthTab’s secure cloud platform connects analyzers, patient results, quality-control data and pharmacist workflows to create a unified, scalable digital infrastructure for community testing. Supported by a rigorous quality management program run with CEQAL Inc., the network is designed to deliver lab-grade accuracy and real-time analytics, strengthening Avricore’s positioning in pharmacy-based diagnostics and potentially improving public-health reporting and patient care outcomes. **Spark’s Take on AVCR Stock** According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AVCR is a Neutral. The score is held down primarily by deteriorating financial performance (very low TTM revenue, negative gross profit, widening losses, and negative operating/free cash flow), only partly offset by a low-debt balance sheet. Technical indicators are neutral-to-mildly positive, but valuation is hard to support with a negative P/E and no dividend data.
