U.S. stocks edge higher; solid earnings season continues
Investing.com - H.C. Wainwright raised its price target on Sensei Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ:SNSE) to $30.00 from $5.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The company’s shares, currently trading at $8.43, have shown strong momentum with a 27% gain over the past week. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears fairly valued based on its proprietary Fair Value model.
The significant price target increase follows a recent reverse stock split and an adjusted discount rate as the firm awaits visibility on the company’s lead solid tumor indication.
H.C. Wainwright’s valuation is based on a clinical net present value model derived from Sensei’s lead asset, solnerstotug, which is being developed for advanced solid tumors in the U.S. market.
The firm identified four potential upside factors for Sensei: securing additional partnership agreements, identifying new indications for approval, adjusting projection factors including success probability and peak sales, and advancing preclinical assets to clinical development.
Potential risks noted by H.C. Wainwright include failed clinical trials, inadequate funding, dilutive capital raises, lack of commercial success, and delisting risk.
In other recent news, Sensei Biotherapeutics announced a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of its common stock, effective June 16, 2025. This move, approved by the company’s board and stockholders, aims to increase the market price per share and ensure compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. Additionally, H.C. Wainwright analysts have assumed coverage of Sensei Biotherapeutics with a Buy rating and a price target of $5.00, citing the company’s innovative approach in developing immune checkpoint inhibitors. Sensei Biotherapeutics will also present clinical data from its Phase 1/2 trial of solnerstotug at the European Society for Medical (TASE:BLWV) Oncology Congress in 2025. This presentation will focus on results from patients with advanced solid tumors resistant to prior PD-(L)1 therapy. Furthermore, during its recent annual stockholders meeting, Sensei Biotherapeutics successfully elected two board directors, William Ringo and John Celebi (IS:CLEBI), to serve until 2028. These developments reflect ongoing strategic and operational initiatives at the company.
