B.Riley FBR analyst Madhu Kumar reiterated a Buy rating on Syndax Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ: SNDX) today and set a price target of $40. The company’s shares opened today at $8.74, close to its 52-week low of $7.70.
Kumar observed:
“Yesterday morning, 5/17, Syndax Pharmaceuticals (SNDX) announced a clinical update from the Phase II ENCORE 601 trial of lead asset entinostat in combination with PD-1 inhibitor Keytruda across various solid cancers. We believe intraday weakness is an overreaction to the impact of these immuno-oncology (I-O) combinations on SNDX valuation, which we consider attractive in light of the opportunity for entinostat in Phase III studies in hormone receptor-positive (HR +) breast cancer and downstream pipeline candidates. We thus reiterate our SNDX Buy rating and $40 price target.”
