H.C. Wainwright reiterates buy rating on Imunon stock at $14 target

Investing.com - H.C. Wainwright maintained its buy rating and $14.00 price target on Imunon (NASDAQ:IMNN), representing significant upside from the current price of $1.00. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets range from $6.00 to $14.00, with two analysts recently revising earnings estimates upward for the upcoming period.

Imunon, a clinical-stage biotechnology company with a market capitalization of $21.3 million, revealed on June 18 that results from its randomized Phase 2 trial evaluating IMNN-001 plus chemotherapy in women with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer would be presented at ESMO’s Gynaecological Cancers Congress in Vienna. The biomarker analysis shows localized increases in anti-cancer immune cytokines IL-12, IFN-γ, and TNF-α of approximately 27, 62, and 36-fold, respectively.

The translational data follows Imunon’s complete OVATION 2 results presented at ASCO in early June, where patients treated with IMNN-001 experienced a median 13-month increase in overall survival (46 vs. 33 months) and a 3-month improvement in progression-free survival (14.9 vs. 11.9 months) compared to standard of care.

The study demonstrated benefits in chemotherapy response score and surgical response score, with a favorable safety profile characterized by the absence of serious immune-related adverse events, systemic toxicity, and cytokine release syndrome. The most common adverse events reported were abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Results from the 112-patient study were also published in the peer-reviewed journal Gynecologic Oncology, with H.C. Wainwright noting it is "highly encouraged by the data presented from these analyses as they continue to bolster IMNN-001’s profound safety and efficacy profile." While the stock has seen a strong 20.5% return over the past six months, InvestingPro analysis reveals 12+ additional key insights about Imunon’s financial health and market position.
