Asia FX weakens slightly, rupee recovers from record low as RBI holds rates
On Monday, Cantor Fitzgerald analysts reiterated an Overweight rating for Bicara Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: BCAX), currently trading at $9.25. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets range from $8 to $48, suggesting significant potential upside. The analysts expressed continued confidence in ficerafusp, Bicara’s therapeutic candidate, highlighting its ability to achieve deep responses in patients.
According to the analysts, more than 80% of responders treated with ficerafusp achieved over 80% tumor shrinkage. This significant level of response is suggested to correlate with improved durability, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) metrics.
In their evaluation, the analysts noted a comparison with a study by MRUS, where fewer than 50% of responders achieved similar tumor shrinkage. This contrast underscores the potential efficacy of Bicara’s therapeutic approach.
Bicara Therapeutics is focused on developing innovative treatments, and the reaffirmation of the Overweight rating reflects analyst confidence in the company’s pipeline and its prospects in the healthcare sector.
