Aduro BioTech (NASDAQ: ADRO)

H.C. Wainwright analyst Joseph Pantginis maintained a Buy rating on Aduro BioTech (NASDAQ: ADRO) today and set a price target of $9.50. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $8.

Pantginis observed:

“Valuation and risks to price target achievement. We maintain our Buy rating, and a $9.50 price target. This valuation reflects the revaluation of the company following the discontinuation of CRS-207 (lead value driver in 2017). Our target is based on our clinical net present value (NPV) model, which derives value from across Aduro’s assets but primarily for ADU-S100. This model allows us to flex multiple assumptions affecting a drug’s potential commercial profile.”

According to TipRanks.com, Pantginis is ranked 0 out of 5 stars with an average return of -9.0% and a 36.5% success rate. Pantginis covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as SELLAS Life Sciences Group Inc, Applied Genetic Technologies, and Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc.

Aduro BioTech has an analyst consensus of Moderate Buy, with a price target consensus of $11.25.
