Citizens JMP affirms $4 price target on Context Therapeutics stock

On Tuesday, Citizens JMP analysts maintained a Market Outperform rating for Context Therapeutics stock (NASDAQ:CNTX) with a $4.00 price target, representing significant upside from the current price of $0.59. The stock trades well below the broader analyst target range of $4.00-$9.00. The analysts confirmed their position after meeting with the company’s new Chief Medical (TASE:BLWV) Officer, Dr. Karen Chagin, M.D., who has a strong background in developing cell therapies at Adaptimmune and Tmunity.

Dr. Chagin expressed satisfaction with the progress and design of ongoing trials. The trials are currently open to participants with CLDN6-positive advanced or metastatic ovarian, endometrial, and testicular cancers. Management noted that most of the patients involved have prior experience with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and the current patient population is predominantly biased toward platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC).

Context Therapeutics remains committed to advancing its clinical programs, with the goal of developing effective treatments for cancer patients. The company’s stock continues to be monitored by analysts as the trials progress.
