H.C. Wainwright Thinks Pulmatrix Inc’s Stock is Going to Recover


H.C. Wainwright analyst Andrew Fein reiterated a Buy rating on Pulmatrix Inc (PULM) today and set a price target of $10. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $0.85, close to its 52-week low of $0.72.

Fein noted:

“We continue to assert that an inhaled formulation of itraconazole could offer patients improved respiratory distribution with lower systemic exposure than the oral itraconazole alternative. While Pulmazole can offer direct delivery of itraconazole inhaled dry powder to the lung, limitations to oral itraconazole include poor bioavailability, pharmacokinetic variability, drug interactions, and possible GI and cardiac related side effects. As noted, the company entered into a definitive agreement, in a subsidiary of Cipla Limited (NSE: CIPLA; not rated), providing a $22M upfront payment to Pulmatrix for the co- development and commercialization of Pulmazole.”

According to TipRanks.com, Fein is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 1.1% and a 40.3% success rate. Fein covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc, DBV Technologies SA – American, and ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Pulmatrix Inc has an analyst consensus of Moderate Buy, with a price target consensus of $22.
