Chip stocks fall with Nvidia after data center rev disappointment
Investing.com - Mizuho maintained its Outperform rating and $10.00 price target on Immuneering Corporation (NASDAQ:IMRX), a $178 million market cap biotech company, following the company’s $25 million equity raise. According to InvestingPro data, analyst consensus remains strongly bullish with price targets ranging from $8 to $21.
The equity raise effectively doubles Immuneering’s cash balance and was priced at a 15% premium to the stock’s prior closing price, rather than the typical discount seen in such offerings. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 3.7, with liquid assets well exceeding short-term obligations.
According to the company, the capital raise attracted top-tier institutional and other accredited investors, signaling strong confidence in Immuneering’s pipeline and upcoming clinical data.
Immuneering shares closed up 35% Monday in reaction to the fundraising news, significantly outperforming the broader biotech sector as measured by the XBI index, which rose just 1%.
Mizuho expressed confidence in Immuneering’s upcoming data update for its drug candidate atebi in first-line pancreatic cancer, which is expected in the coming weeks, noting that despite the recent price increase, the shares remain "meaningfully undervalued."
In other recent news, Immuneering Corporation announced a private placement agreement expected to generate approximately $25 million in gross proceeds. This involves the sale of over 6 million unregistered shares of Class A common stock and purchase warrants, marking a significant financial development for the company. Mizuho has raised its price target for Immuneering to $10 from $8, maintaining an Outperform rating after the release of positive clinical trial results for the company’s pancreatic cancer treatment. The trial data revealed promising overall survival and progression-free survival rates, which were notably better than current standard treatment regimens. Immuneering reported that 94% overall survival and 72% progression-free survival were observed at six months in their ongoing Phase 2a trial. Additionally, the company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders, where three Class I directors were elected, and the independent registered public accounting firm was ratified for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
