Michael Okunewitch has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Rani Therapeutics Holdings’ potential in the obesity treatment market. The company is advancing its Phase 1 study of RT-114, a promising candidate in the GLP-1/GLP-2 space, which has shown favorable bioavailability in preclinical studies. This positions RT-114 to potentially replicate the therapeutic benefits of existing subcutaneous formulations.
Additionally, Rani’s innovative RaniPill technology has demonstrated successful delivery of semaglutide with comparable efficacy to injectable forms. This innovation could offer a competitive edge as the obesity market expands, especially with the impending expiration of semaglutide patents. The vast obesity market, coupled with Rani’s strategic focus on developing a diverse oral obesity pipeline, underscores the potential for significant market penetration and revenue growth, justifying the Buy rating.
In another report released on May 14, Canaccord Genuity also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $9.00 price target.
