On Friday, Roth/MKM initiated coverage on shares of CervoMed (NASDAQ:CRVO), a pharmaceutical company, with a Buy rating and a 12-month price target of $45.00. The firm's positive outlook is based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and the potential market impact of the company's leading drug candidate, neflamapimod.
The analyst highlighted the efficacy of neflamapimod, which is currently being tested in a Phase 2a study for patients with pure Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). The study, which involved 11 participants, showed promising results.
Moreover, the analyst expressed optimism for the upcoming Phase 2b study results, expected in the fourth quarter of 2024. If the data is positive, this could position CervoMed as a first mover in the market with significant revenue potential, projecting more than $1 billion by 2034.
CervoMed's financial position was also noted, with the management expecting the company's cash reserves to last through the year 2025. The company reported having $46.7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024. The analyst anticipates that the company may seek equity financing following the positive outcome of the Phase 2b data.
The endorsement from Roth/MKM comes at a critical juncture for CervoMed as it advances through the clinical trial process. The company's progress and the anticipation for future study results are key factors in the analyst's recommendation.
CervoMed's stock is now under the spotlight as investors and industry watchers await the Phase 2b trial readout, which could be a pivotal moment for the company's drug neflamapimod and its future in the DLB treatment landscape.
