Alpha Tau price target raised to $12 from $9 at H.C. Wainwright

H.C. Wainwright analyst Yi Chen raised the firm’s price target on Alpha Tau (DRTS) to $12 from $9 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare granted marketing approval for Alpha DaRT for the treatment of unresectable locally advanced or locally recurrent head and neck cancer. The approval in Japan further validates the Alpha DaRT platform and helps de-risk the clinical development in the U.S., the analyst tells investors.
