Compass Therapeutics stock rating reiterated at Overweight by Piper Sandler

Investing.com - Piper Sandler has reiterated an Overweight rating and $12.00 price target on Compass Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CMPX) following the company’s second-quarter earnings report. The stock has shown remarkable strength, delivering a 156% return over the past year. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for CMPX range from $7 to $32, reflecting strong potential upside.

The research firm noted that Compass Therapeutics’ COMPANION-002 secondary endpoint analysis will likely be delayed until the first quarter of 2026, compared to the previous expectation of fourth-quarter 2025. The delay stems from a slower-than-anticipated rate of overall survival events in second-line biliary tract cancer patients.

Piper Sandler views this delay as potentially positive for tovecimig’s overall survival outcome, given that approximately 50% of paclitaxel control patients crossed over to the treatment arm.

The firm highlighted preliminary data from the CTX-8371 Phase 1 dose-escalation study, which demonstrated two confirmed partial responses in non-small cell lung cancer and triple-negative breast cancer patients. These responses reflected complete or near-complete reduction in target lesions at 0.3 and 3 mg/kg doses.

Compass Therapeutics plans to release the full CTX-8371 data in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to the research note.
