In a report released today, Robert Burns from H.C. Wainwright reiterated a Buy rating on Repare Therapeutics (RPTX – Research Report), with a price target of $5.00.
Robert Burns’s rating is based on a combination of factors including Repare Therapeutics’ financial health and strategic pipeline adjustments. Despite reporting a net loss for 2024, the company’s financial position remains stable with sufficient cash reserves projected to support operations into late 2027. This financial runway is crucial as it aligns with several upcoming data catalysts that could potentially enhance the company’s valuation.
Furthermore, Burns acknowledges the strategic decision to deprioritize certain assets while focusing on promising candidates like RP-3467. The potential of RP-3467, especially in combination with LYNPARZA for BRCA-mutated cancers, presents a significant opportunity, albeit with a cautious probability of approval. The upcoming trials and data releases for RP-3467 and RP-1664 are pivotal, and while there are inherent risks, the calculated approach to valuation using a discounted cash flow model supports the Buy rating with a revised price target of $5 per share.
