Tonix Pharmaceuticals stock halted ahead of FDA approval news
On Friday, H.C. Wainwright analyst Amit Dayal downgraded REE Automotive Holding Inc. (NASDAQ:REE) from Buy to Neutral, citing tariff-related developments that have impacted the company’s plans to bring its P7 offering to market as previously anticipated. The stock, currently trading at $0.93, has seen a dramatic decline of nearly 90% year-to-date according to InvestingPro data, with market capitalization now standing at just $26 million. The analyst noted that these developments have prompted a strategic shift towards cash preservation and cost-cutting measures, including a pause on the planned production of the P7.
REE Automotive’s management is now prioritizing the commercialization of its software offerings and its software-defined vehicle (SDV) platform. As part of this shift, they aim to lower quarterly operating costs to $3-4 million in the second half of 2025, a reduction from the $5-6 million anticipated for the second quarter of 2025. InvestingPro data reveals concerning metrics, with an EBITDA of -$76 million in the last twelve months and a weak overall financial health score of 1.11 out of 5.
The company reportedly has $61 million in cash reserves, which is expected to be sufficient to navigate the current challenges posed by the tariff situation. The lowered burn rate should help the company manage its financials during this period of adjustment.
The analyst believes that potential catalysts for REE Automotive’s stock could include successful customer acquisitions for its SDV platform, the conversion of a recently announced memorandum of understanding (MoU) into a definitive agreement, and further clarity on tariffs that could enable the company to proceed with the commercialization of the P7. Current analyst consensus data from InvestingPro shows price targets ranging from $8.50 to $15.00, though these may be subject to revision following recent developments.
