Joseph Pantginis has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including the promising developments in Biomea Fusion’s metabolic programs. The company’s lead candidate, icovamenib, has shown significant potential in treating Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), particularly in patients with poorly controlled T2D. The Phase 1/2 COVALENT-111 trial demonstrated improved HbA1c reductions and a durable effect on insulin production, which supports the drug’s mechanism of action aimed at restoring β-cell function.
Furthermore, preclinical studies have indicated that icovamenib, when combined with GLP-1 receptor agonists, offers superior metabolic benefits, including fat mass reduction while preserving lean mass. These findings suggest that icovamenib could be a novel, first-in-class therapy for T2D. With anticipated data updates and the initiation of a Phase 2 study in the near future, Pantginis sees significant potential in Biomea Fusion’s pipeline, justifying the Buy rating.
According to TipRanks, Pantginis is an analyst with an average return of -16.3% and a 33.07% success rate. Pantginis covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Krystal Biotech, Esperion, and Capricor Therapeutics.
In another report released yesterday, Oppenheimer also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $9.00 price target.
