H.C. Wainwright analyst Ram Selvaraju reiterated a Buy rating on Ritter Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RTTR) today and set a price target of $15. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $3.43.

Selvaraju observed:

“Week. We draw investors’ attention to the fact that Ritter Pharmaceuticals presented two posters on its RP-G28 lead clinical program at the Digestive Disease Week (DDW) medical meeting this week. DDW is one of the premier conferences in the gastroenterology sector and we believe these poster presentations effectively delineate key elements of the RP- G28 clinical program. The first poster highlights RP-G28’s treatment benefit in safely and effectively reducing or eliminating key symptoms of lactose intolerance (LI), while the second outlines the development and validation of a novel tool to measure changes in the severity of LI symptoms over time and shows the instrument’s reliability and responsiveness, illustrating its utility for evaluating treatment intervention effects.”
