Optimistic Buy Rating on PureTech Health Driven by Promising LYT-100 Developments and Strategic Growth Plans

Faisal Khurshid, an analyst from Leerink Partners, reiterated the Buy rating on PureTech Health (PRTC – Research Report). The associated price target is $46.00.

Faisal Khurshid has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding PureTech Health’s promising developments and strategic plans. The company has reported positive results from its Phase 2b ELEVATE study of LYT-100 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which suggests an improvement over the current standard of care anti-fibrotics. This progress, along with the anticipated Phase 3 initiation by the end of 2025, positions LYT-100 as a key potential value driver for the company.
Furthermore, PureTech Health’s strategy to determine the funding path for LYT-100, whether through spinouts or structured financing, adds to the potential upside. Despite the current low liquidity for the ADRs and investor concerns about asset spinouts, the forthcoming updates from PureTech’s Founded Entities in 2025, such as Vedanta Bioscience’s trial results and Seaport Therapeutics’ study initiation, are expected to provide additional growth opportunities. These factors collectively underpin Khurshid’s optimistic outlook on PureTech Health’s stock.

PRTC’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $20.840 to $17.260, which is a -17.18% drop .
