“. We reiterate our Overweight rating and $100 PT on RETA. Reata reported 1Q19 financial performance, including collaboration revs of $7.7M, total expenses of $36.3M and cash of $313.1M. We project current cash to be sufficient to fund operations through 2020, including the three ongoing pivotal trials of bardoxalone in Alport syndrome and CTD- PAH, and omaveloxolone in Friedreich’s ataxia (FA). We see 2019 as a potentially transformational year for the company, with two pivotal trial readouts in 2H19 (CARDINAL and MOXIe) and one in 1H20 (CATALYST), and increasing visibility on a broadening set of bard’ indications going forward to further drive shares.”
