Citizens analyst Reni J. Benjamin reiterated a Market Outperform rating and $24.00 price target on Kura Oncology (NASDAQ: KURA).

The analyst commented, "We reiterate our Market Outperform rating on Kura Oncology and our price target of $24, which is based on a blended discounted EPS and revenue multiple analysis. Kura's ESMO 2025 presentations provide the first clinical look at KO-2806 (darlifarnib), a next-generation farnesyl transferase inhibitor (FTI) positioned as a combination partner for targeted therapies. The data highlight KO-2806's ability to overcome resistance in solid tumors, resensitizing refractory tumors to the multi-kinase inhibitor cabozantinib (cabo) and boosting efficacy in naive patients. Given KO-2806's safety profile and strong potential to synergize with established inhibitors, the ESMO data suggest a broad market opportunity not factored into the current valuation, in our view. With zifto on track for approval by November 30, 2025, Phase 1b KOMET-007 trial data expected at the 2025 ASH conference, and a pro forma cash position of $730.7MM, we continue to view the company as attractively valued, now with a free option for further upside beyond the zifto opportunity."
