On Friday, Citizens JMP maintained its Market Outperform rating on Bicycle Therapeutics (NASDAQ:BCYC) but reduced the stock’s price target from $26.00 to $22.00. The adjustment was based on a revised analysis of the company’s earnings per share and revenue potential. According to InvestingPro data, the stock is currently trading at $9.08, showing a significant 7.8% gain over the past week despite being down 60% over the last six months.
Bicycle Therapeutics recently disclosed its first-quarter financial results for the year 2025 and updated investors on key corporate milestones. Among the highlights was the launch of the Phase 1/2 Duravelo-3 trial targeting NECTIN4-amplified breast cancer, which is set to recruit approximately 60 participants. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company maintains a strong financial health score, though it’s currently experiencing significant cash burn - one of several key insights available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report.
The company’s clinical pipeline continues to progress, with the zele pivotal trial actively enrolling patients and the BRC proof of concept having been established. Furthermore, two other assets are advancing through clinical development stages. Bicycle Therapeutics also benefits from multiple partnerships that provide non-dilutive funding, contributing to the company’s robust cash reserves, which stand at $792.9 million. The company’s strong liquidity position is reflected in its impressive current ratio of 13.81, with cash holdings significantly exceeding its total debt of $9.49 million.
Citizens JMP’s analysis suggests that Bicycle Therapeutics’ stock offers a significant investment opportunity. The firm indicates a potential downside risk with a bear case scenario of $3 per share, contrasting with a bull case that could see the stock rise to $28 per share, representing approximately 208% potential upside from the new target price. The broader analyst consensus shows targets ranging from $13 to $42 per share, reflecting the market’s mixed outlook on this clinical-stage biotech company.
