Brean Murray Initiates CytRx Corp. (CYTR) with a Buy
Brean Murray initiates coverage on CytRx Corp. (NASDAQ: CYTR) with a Buy rating and a $3 price target.
The firm said, "Given CytRx's non-existent enterprise value, investors are giving no value to its pipeline of six clinical-stage drugs and several preclinical programs. The current valuation is even lower than the value of its current net cash plus its stake in RXi. We also believe that our mere market valuation for the RXi stake is extremely conservative, considering that Sirna Therapeutics and Alnylam have clearly demonstrated large pharma’s interest in therapeutic RNAi."
The firm also highlighted CYTR's plans to acquire Innovive, which will give the company tamibarotene, an oral retinoid with higher selectivity. In addition, CYTR has two clinical-stage molecular chaperone inducing products, arimoclomol and iroxanadine, that have completed Phase 2a and Phase 2 trials and that may proceed subject to FDA clearance.
CytRx Corporation, a biopharmaceutical research and development company, engages in developing human therapeutic products primarily based upon small molecule molecular chaperone co-induction technology.
