BofA/Merrill Lynch Downgrades Spero Therapeutics (SPRO) to Underperform

BofA/Merrill Lynch analyst Jason Gerberry downgraded Spero Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SPRO) from Neutral to Underperform with a price target of $9.00 (from $19.00).

The analyst list three reasons for the downgrade:

1. SPR994 for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections as more nich drug than prior analyst team,
2. 55% probability-of-success reflecting the fact prior Phase 2 has limited read-through to '994's registration study due to protocol difference,
3. early-stage antibiotic potentiator program is intriguing but unlikely to unlock meaningful value until program is validated in larger studies.
