Buy Rating on Olema Pharmaceuticals Amid Promising Clinical Trials and Strong Financial Position

Analyst William Maughan of Canaccord Genuity maintained a Buy rating on Olema Pharmaceuticals (OLMA – Research Report), with a price target of $24.00.

William Maughan has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that indicate Olema Pharmaceuticals is well-positioned in the development of its therapies. The anticipation for upcoming data from the Phase 1b/2 study of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib, which is expected to showcase clinical benefit and overall response rates, plays a key role in this optimistic outlook. Moreover, full enrollment in both CDK4/6 combo trials, and the company’s substantial cash reserves of $249 million, further bolster the case for a Buy rating.

Additionally, Maughan’s confidence is fueled by the potential of Olema’s KAT6 inhibitor drug, OP-3136, which is showing promise in preclinical studies for both ER+ breast cancer and castration-resistant prostate cancer. The lack of dose-limiting toxicities or grade 4 adverse events in the initial palazestrant-ribo combo data also contributes to the positive assessment. While the KAT6 inhibitor program’s standalone valuation has not been established, its anticipated complementary role with palazestrant and other breast cancer therapies suggests an untapped upside that could materialize in the future, making now an opportune time to buy according to Maughan’s analysis.

In another report released today, H.C. Wainwright also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $28.00 price target.

OLMA’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $17.140 to $10.850, which is a -36.70% drop .
