Wells Fargo analyst Derek Archila maintained a Hold rating on Kymera Therapeutics (KYMR – Research Report) yesterday and set a price target of $30.00.
Derek Archila has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors including the company’s recent quarterly update and the progression of its early-stage pipeline. Kymera Therapeutics did not reveal much new information in its fourth quarter update, which followed closely on the heels of their Immunology and Inflammation (I&I) Research and Development day. Despite this, Archila recognizes the potential of Kymera’s pipeline, particularly the immune-oncology programs that are expected to gain focus in 2024. Furthermore, the company’s financial position appears robust, with sufficient cash to support its pipeline development toward proof of concept (POC).
However, Archila remains cautious due to the lack of near-term catalysts expected from the I&I portfolio and the uncertain impact of forthcoming updates from the oncology programs. The analyst has adjusted the price target to $30 based on a lower discount rate, reflecting the company’s solid cash position, but suggests that the anticipated clinical updates might not significantly influence the stock’s performance. With the expectation of more definitive data in the future, Archila advises a conservative approach, recommending investors to stay on the sidelines for the time being and look for a more opportune moment to invest.
