Citizens reiterates Market Outperform rating on Inovio stock at $12 target

Investing.com - Citizens has reiterated its Market Outperform rating and $12.00 price target on Inovio Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:INO), maintaining confidence in the company’s DNA immunotherapy candidate. The target represents significant upside from the current price of $2.50, aligning with the broader analyst consensus of "Buy" according to InvestingPro data.

Inovio announced it has completed the rolling Biologics License Application (BLA) submission for INO-3107, its treatment for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). The company expects the application to be accepted by year-end. Investors should note that Inovio is scheduled to report earnings in just 3 days, on November 7.

Citizens anticipates a Priority Review and full approval for INO-3107, comparing the likely regulatory pathway to Precigen’s experience with Papzimeos for the same indication. The firm projects a target PDUFA approval date to be announced within 60 days.

The price target is based on a risk-adjusted, discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, according to Citizens’ research note.

Citizens will be hosting virtual meetings with Inovio’s management in New York City on December 1 and December 10, offering investors opportunities to engage with the company’s leadership.For deeper insights into Inovio’s financial health and growth prospects, InvestingPro offers a comprehensive Pro Research Report with 10+ additional ProTips and metrics that matter for biotech investors.
