CytoDyn Inc (CYDY)

H.C. Wainwright analyst Yi Chen reiterated a Buy rating on CytoDyn Inc today and set a price target of $1.50. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $0.48.

Chen commented:

“We note that the only product currently in use for PrEP is Truvada, which is a daily pill. However, many patients cannot adhere to daily oral antiretroviral therapy drugs as PrEP; therefore, once-weekly leronlimab as PrEP could be a viable option to curtail the epidemic, considering that individuals deficient for the CCR5 co-receptor are nearly completely resistant to sexual transmission of HIV. Importantly, potential use of leronlimab as PrEP could provide an additional label expansion opportunity on top of monotherapy, in our view, if leronlimab is approved as a combination therapy first. In the wake of this update, we reiterate our Buy rating and $1.50 price target.”

According to TipRanks.com, Chen has currently no stars on a ranking scale of 0-5 stars, with an average return of -25.6% and a 34.2% success rate. Chen covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Aerpio Pharmaceuticals Inc, Aslan Pharmaceuticals Ltd, and Seelos Therapeutics Inc.

The word on The Street in general, suggests a Moderate Buy analyst consensus rating for CytoDyn Inc with a $1.50 average price target.
