“Valuation and risks to our investment thesis. Our 12-month, $18 price target on shares of Sutro is derived from a 13-year DCF-based, sum-of-the-parts analysis. Our DCF is driven by: beta of 1.60, terminal growth rate of 0.5%, risk premium of 4.93%, calculated WACC of 10.3%, and tax rate of 15% beginning in FY 2029. Until clarity on Sutro’s collaboration with Celgene and Merck crystallizes, our $18 price target remains leveraged on the outcome of STRO-002’s safety and efficacy outcome, which represents approximately 67% of our rNPV of $12 per share.”
