H.C. Wainwright initiated coverage on Neuralstem (NYSE: CUR) with a Neutral rating.
Analyst Reni Benjamin said, "We are initiating coverage of Neuralstem Inc. with a Neutral rating without a price target, based on a discounted earnings per share and revenue multiple analysis."
"Neuralstem’s core biotechnology franchise takes advantage of allogeneic fetal neuronal stem cell lines which are being evaluated as cell-based regenerative therapies in neurological indications. The company’s lead product candidate, NSI-566, is a stem cell treatment that recently reported preliminary yet promising results in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Results were also reported for a second drug candidate, NSI-189, from a small Phase 1 study in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Although the company has a multipronged portfolio designed to target unmet medical needs and a cash position of $30.2 MM that we expect to last till mid-2016, we believe Neuralstem shares are currently fairly valued," he added.
