Rani Therapeutics’ RaniPill Poised to Revolutionize Obesity Treatment: A Buy Rating Analysis

Julian Harrison, an analyst from BTIG, maintained the Buy rating on Rani Therapeutics Holdings (RANI – Research Report). The associated price target is $7.00.

Julian Harrison has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Rani Therapeutics Holdings’ innovative RaniPill technology and its potential impact on the obesity market. Harrison’s optimism is particularly driven by the RaniPill’s ability to deliver daily doses of incretin-based therapies, which could significantly reduce gastrointestinal side effects and allow for more aggressive treatment titrations. This, in turn, is expected to lead to faster weight loss outcomes. Moreover, the RaniPill’s versatility in delivering various emerging drug classes positions it advantageously within the growing obesity treatment space, which is projected to reach over $100 billion. The cost of goods sold (COGS) and supply chain benefits further enhance the RaniPill’s attractiveness, given its expected superior bioavailability compared to traditional oral small molecules.
Additionally, the promising Phase 1 data of RT-111, which is based on the RaniPill, indicates a higher bioavailability relative to subcutaneously injected ustekinumab. With RT-111 demonstrating better pharmacokinetic advantages, such as higher peak plasma concentration and faster time to reach it, Harrison anticipates that these could translate into greater efficacy in treating patients. The favorable safety profile reported from the Phase 1 trial of RT-111 bolsters the case for its advancement and, by extension, validates Rani Therapeutics Holdings’ platform technology. These factors, coupled with ongoing negotiations that could yield more positive news in the near term, underpin Harrison’s Buy rating for RANI stock.

In another report released yesterday, Stifel Nicolaus also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $10.00 price target.
