Buy Rating Affirmed for ArriVent BioPharma on Strong Firmonernib Prospects and Financial Stability

Analyst Sam Slutsky of LifeSci Capital maintained a Buy rating on ArriVent BioPharma, Inc. (AVBP – Research Report), retaining the price target of $33.00.

Sam Slutsky has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors which highlight the potential of ArriVent BioPharma, Inc.’s lead compound firmonernib and its clinical development timeline. The Q1 2024 earnings report from ArriVent BioPharma provided reassurance regarding the continued progress of firmonernib, particularly its potential in treating nonclassical EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Slutsky’s optimism is fueled by the presentation of promising preclinical data at the American Association for Cancer Research Conference, which demonstrated firmonernib’s in-vitro potency and in-vivo efficacy. Furthermore, the initiation of a Phase 1b combination study of firmonernib with a SHP2 inhibitor in NSCLC patients is a notable advancement.

Additionally, the expected proof-of-concept data from the fully enrolled Phase 1b FURTHER trial, anticipated later in the year, adds to the positive outlook for ArriVent’s stock. The company’s efforts to select a multi-target multivalent ADC candidate with partner Aarvik Therapeutics also indicate a strategic approach to expand their oncology pipeline. Slutsky’s confidence in ArriVent’s financial stability is supported by the company’s sufficient cash reserves, which are estimated to last approximately 2.3 years, coupled with a relatively low short interest. Taken together, these factors form a solid basis for Slutsky’s Buy recommendation on ArriVent BioPharma, Inc.

In another report released on April 30, H.C. Wainwright also initiated coverage with a Buy rating on the stock with a $25.00 price target.
