Cosmos Health Highlights Approximately $15 Million Fair Market Value of Real Estate Assets, Exceeding Current Market Capitalization; Evaluates Monetization Options to Address Significant Discount to Book Value
CHICAGO, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cosmos Health Inc. ("Cosmos Health" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group, today highlighted the intrinsic value of its wholly owned real estate portfolio and announced that it is evaluating strategic monetization options to unlock shareholder value.
Based on independent valuation reports, recent market data, and comparable transactions, management estimates the combined fair market value of the Company's Cana Laboratories ("Cana") manufacturing facility and CosmoFarm logistics center at approximately $15 million. This estimate reflects the value of the land and buildings only and excludes the value of machinery and equipment housed within the facilities.
The estimated value reflects favourable macro conditions in the Greek property market. According to Bank of Greece data, residential property prices in Greece have surpassed their 2008 pre-financial crisis peak and reached record highs. Commercial real estate, including office, retail, and logistics segments, has also experienced sustained pricing and rental growth in key urban centers, particularly in Athens.
The estimated fair market value of the Company's real estate assets exceeds the Company's current market capitalization, which stood at approximately $13.5 million as of the close of trading on February 17, 2026.
Cana Laboratories – Neo Iraklio, Athens
The Cana property comprises a land plot of approximately 54,000 square feet and a total constructed building area of approximately 35,700 square feet. Based on the applicable building coefficient, the site allows for additional buildable capacity, subject to zoning and regulatory approvals. The property is wholly owned by the Company and is free of any mortgage or other encumbrances.
It is strategically located in Neo Iraklio, a well-established northern suburb of Athens with strong residential density and developed commercial activity. The property offers direct access to Attiki Odos, one of the primary highway arteries serving the greater Athens metropolitan area, and is within a short drive of Athens International Airport, central Athens, and surrounding business districts. It is also located just minutes from The Mall Athens, one of the largest enclosed shopping malls in Greece. Beyond its current pharmaceutical manufacturing and research and development use, the property's location supports meaningful alternative use potential.
CosmoFarm Logistics Center – Peristeri, Athens
The CosmoFarm facility is wholly owned by the Company, consists of approximately 29,100 square feet, and is located in Peristeri, a densely populated municipality in western Athens with strong infrastructure and transport connectivity. The property currently operates as a pharmaceutical wholesale and distribution hub for Cosmos Health's logistics subsidiary, CosmoFarm, and incorporates advanced automation and robotic systems supporting inventory management and order execution.
Strategic Optionality
At the current trading levels, the Company's market capitalization reflects a significant discount to its reported book value (stockholders' equity) of $23.1 million as of Q3 2025. In this context, the estimated value of the Company's real estate portfolio represents capital that is substantial relative to its public equity value. Monetization, if pursued at or near estimated fair market value, could generate proceeds comparable to, or exceeding, the Company's current public float.
Potential alternatives under consideration may include an outright sale, joint venture structures, sale leaseback transactions, or other strategic arrangements, subject to market conditions. Proceeds, if realized, may be used for debt reduction, reinvestment into core growth initiatives, acquisitions, or shareholder value-enhancing actions.
Greg Siokas, CEO of Cosmos Health, stated: "We believe there is a meaningful disconnect between our current valuation and the intrinsic value of our assets, with our real estate assets alone worth more than our entire market capitalization. These strategically located properties provide meaningful financial optionality. As a diversified, vertically integrated pharmaceutical company, we have a clear mission in the healthcare space. If monetizing non-core real estate assets can unlock substantial value, we will evaluate such opportunities carefully and decisively, and act accordingly."
