Kolbert commented:
“We have adjusted our valuation to reflect the reverse stock split and the proposed offering as well as our capital raise assumptions going forward. We have made no changes to our other model assumptions. Our model forecasts feed into our valuation metrics, of free cash flow to the firm (FCFF), discounted EPS (dEPS) and sum-of-the-parts (SOP) models. We use a 30% discount rate, which is typical for emerging growth companies. The models are equal weighted and averaged to derive our price target which now goes to $6.00 from $4.00 as a result of the change to the out year assumed share count.”
According to TipRanks.com, Kolbert ‘s ranking currently consits of no stars on a 0-5 ranking scale, with an average return of -2.7% and a 38.4% success rate. Kolbert covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Anavex Life Sciences, Can-Fite BioPharma, and Keryx Biopharma.
