Jounce Therapeutics Inc (JNCE) Gets a Buy Rating from H.C. Wainwright


H.C. Wainwright analyst Debjit Chattopadhyay maintained a Buy rating on Jounce Therapeutics Inc (JNCE) today and set a price target of $13. The company’s shares opened today at $4.08.

Chattopadhyay commented:

“We anticipate Jounce exiting 2019 with approximately $167M in cash, which should be sufficient to fund operations into 2021, by our estimates. While the readout from the EMERGE study, elaborated upon subsequently, is about a year out, the study remains significantly divergent from traditional I/O combination studies, with its focus on the emergence of pharmacodynamic biomarker upon stimulation with an anti-CTLA-4 and its correlation to likely durable responses on subsequent agonism with an ICOS agonist. We realize it is easier to be wise after the event, and given the MOA and the likely synergy between CTLA-4 inhibition and ICOS agnoism, the EMERGE study should have preceeded the ICONIC program. However, ICONIC is now water under the bridge, and a range of learnings have been incorporated into the EMERGE program.”
