Guggenheim lowers Cabaletta Bio stock price target to $15 on dilution

Investing.com - Guggenheim has reduced its price target on Cabaletta Bio Inc . (NASDAQ:CABA) to $15 from $25 while maintaining a Buy rating, citing share dilution from the company’s recent capital raise. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for CABA currently range from $3 to $25, with the stock showing significant volatility in recent months. The company’s shares have declined over 45% in the past six months, though InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued.

The research firm adjusted its target following Cabaletta’s second-quarter results and a $100 million capital raise that extended the company’s cash runway into the second half of 2026. The price target reduction accounts for 50 million shares issued in a June offering and an additional 50 million warrants exercisable at $2.50. InvestingPro data reveals that while the company holds more cash than debt and maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 3.96, it’s rapidly burning through its cash reserves.

Cabaletta remains on track to initiate its pivotal RESET-myositis program in the second half of 2025, which will include two open-label single-arm, disease-specific cohorts with approximately 15 patients each. The company anticipates a potential Biologics License Application filing in 2027 based on either cohort, if successful. While the company isn’t currently profitable, with a return on assets of -62.5%, it maintains a healthy balance sheet with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations.

The biotech firm plans to present complete Phase I/II clinical data from the RESET-Myositis trial, initial dose data from the RESET-PV trial, and initial clinical data from the RESET-MG trial in the second half of 2025. Complete Phase I/II clinical data from the RESET-SLE and RESET-SSc trials are expected in the first half of 2026.

Cabaletta also plans to meet with the FDA to align on key registrational design elements for the RESET-SLE trial in the third quarter of 2025, the RESET-SSc trial in the fourth quarter of 2025, and the RESET-MG trial in the first half of 2026.

In other recent news, Cabaletta Bio announced the pricing of a public offering expected to raise approximately $100 million in gross proceeds. The offering includes 39.2 million shares of common stock and 10.8 million pre-funded warrants, each with accompanying warrants to purchase additional shares, priced at $2.00 per share. This development follows the company’s presentation of promising clinical data at the EULAR conference, where it showcased results from 18 patients treated with its rese-cel therapy for various autoimmune diseases. Seven out of eight patients in the REST-Myositis study showed clinical responses while reducing or stopping other treatments. Analysts have responded to these developments with mixed adjustments to their price targets.
