Oppenheimer Thinks Syndax Pharmaceuticals Inc’s Stock is Going to Recover


In a report released yesterday, Hartaj Singh from Oppenheimer maintained a Buy rating on Syndax Pharmaceuticals Inc (SNDX), with a price target of $13. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $4.86, close to its 52-week low of $4.36.

Singh wrote:

“Syndax (SNDX) reported 3Q18 earnings and provided a business update to investors on 11/5. There were few incremental updates since the investor call held on 10/25 to discuss the negative E2112 PFS readout and the registration trial for entinostat+pembrolizumab in NSCLC, but management did provide lower than expected 4Q18/FY19 guidance indicative of more focused and prudent R&D spend. We continue to note the impressive amount of development programs and near-term clinical catalysts for a sub-$150M market cap company.”

According to TipRanks.com, Singh is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 5.5% and a 40.8% success rate. Singh covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as SELLAS Life Sciences Group Inc, Strongbridge Biopharma Plc, and Catabasis Pharmaceuticals.
