In other recent news, Humacyte reported a narrower fourth-quarter loss of $0.16 per share, surpassing analyst expectations of a $0.25 per share loss. Despite this, the company generated no revenue in the quarter, mirroring the previous year’s results. This lack of revenue comes after the recent FDA approval of Symvess, a bioengineered blood vessel product for extremity vascular trauma. Humacyte has started its commercial launch, shipping initial units to two Level 1 trauma centers, and 34 hospitals have initiated the approval process to purchase Symvess. Analysts at Benchmark maintain a Buy rating with a $17 target, citing the company’s potential to capture significant market share in surgical procedures requiring vascular grafts. BTIG analyst Ryan Zimmerman also retained a Buy rating but adjusted the price target from $10 to $8, noting the early commercial traction of Humacyte’s products. Humacyte plans to file an IND application in 2025 for coronary artery bypass grafting trials and aims for a supplemental application in 2026 to expand Symvess’ uses for dialysis access. The company ended 2024 with $95.3 million in cash, raising an additional $46.6 million through a public stock offering in March 2025.
