Matthew Keller’s rating is based on several promising developments at Acurx Pharmaceuticals. The company has made significant strides in increasing the visibility of its lead compound, ibezapolstat (IBZ), through recent publications and presentations. This has helped raise awareness in both private and public sectors, which is crucial for its late-stage clinical development.
Additionally, Acurx is actively exploring financing and partnering opportunities to expedite the development of IBZ. The company’s financial position is bolstered by a recent warrant exercise, adding to its cash reserves. Furthermore, preclinical data presented at IDWeek ’25 highlighted IBZ’s unique microbiome-sparing properties, which could enhance its efficacy in treating difficult bacterial infections. These factors collectively contribute to Keller’s optimistic outlook and Buy rating for Acurx Pharmaceuticals.
