Galectin Therapeutics (GALT)

H.C. Wainwright analyst Ed Arce maintained a Buy rating on Galectin Therapeutics today and set a price target of $12. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $4.58.

Arce observed:

“We believe the most important aspect of this conversion is the elimination of special voting rights and protective provisions that were tethered to the Series B preferred shares, eliminating a major pushback by institutional investors who have largely remained on the sidelines. In parallel, a $10M line of credit (LOC) provided by Galectin Chairman Richard E. Uihlein was extended by two years, allowing Galectin to borrow at the prevailing federal rate published by the IRS (now 2.7%) until December 31, 2021 (with repayment due December 31, 2022). While Galectin has yet to tap into this LOC, it nonetheless further extends Galectin’s cash runway which we project to be year end 2019.”

According to TipRanks.com, Arce is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 7.2% and a 36.6% success rate. Arce covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Madrigal Pharmaceuticals Inc, Melinta Therapeutics Inc, and Collegium Pharmaceutical.

“We maintain our Neutral rating of ADXS with no price target due to the significant uncertainties surrounding the company’s core ADXS-NEO and ADXS-HOT programs. (1) clinical; (2) financial; (3) regulatory; (4) commercial; and (5) intellectual property.”
