Perspective Therapeutics stock holds Buy rating at UBS ahead of ESMO data

Investing.com - UBS maintained its Buy rating and $18.00 price target on Perspective Therapeutics Inc (NYSE:CATX), currently trading at $3.56 with a market cap of $264 million, following the company’s second-quarter 2025 results, which highlighted enrollment progress in its VMT-a-NET Phase 1/2a trial for neuroendocrine tumors. According to InvestingPro data, analyst consensus remains strongly bullish, with price targets ranging from $5 to $20.50.

The company reported that 39 additional patients were treated at the 5 mCi dose level (Cohort 2), with 11 patients reaching at least 32 weeks of follow-up as of July 31st. These 11 patients are expected to have approximately 38-45 weeks of follow-up by the time updated trial data is presented at the European Society for Medical (TASE:BLWV) Oncology (ESMO) conference on October 20th.

UBS noted that this follow-up duration should be sufficient to capture most potential responses, as previous patient responses in the trial occurred between 36-48 weeks. The firm identified a 50% objective response rate as a key benchmark for the upcoming data presentation, comparing it to RadioMedix’s 212Pb-DOTAMTATE, which showed a 56% response rate.

Perspective Therapeutics has seen improved investor sentiment over the past six months, with the stock gaining nearly 29% during this period, supported by continued clinical validation from existing Cohort 2 patients and FDA approval to proceed with higher dosing in Cohort 3. InvestingPro analysis shows the company holds more cash than debt, though it’s currently rated as having weak financial health.
