Brainstorm Cell Risk Factors

According to the new TipRanks Risk Factors tool, Brainstorm’s main risk category is Tech & Innovation, which accounts for 28% of the total 50 risks identified.

Since June 2021, Brainstorm has updated its risk profile to introduce one new risk factor, under the Macro & Political category.

The company said, “The coronavirus outbreak has caused disruptions to our business, including our preclinical and clinical development activities.”

Here, Brainstorm emphasizes that the company has endured a lot of stress and volatility in its stock price since the outbreak of the coronavirus. The pandemic has had an influence on the company’s operations, including preclinical and clinical trials. Furthermore, the impact of this crisis on the company’s business is unknown, and it could continue to impede its operations.

On the brighter side, the overall sector average for the Finance & Corporate risk factor is 28.9%, higher than the average risks in that category for Brainstorm, which stands at 20%.

Brainstorm’s Financial Performance

Brainstorm’s Q2 general and administrative expenses increased 47.1%, to $2.5 million, while net research and development expenses decreased 36.8%, to $3.6 million on a year-over-year basis.

The company reported a GAAP net loss of $0.17 per share in the second quarter, versus $0.25 per share in the year-ago quarter.

Wall Street’s Take

The stock has picked up a rating from one analyst in the past three months.

Maxim Group analyst Jason McCarthy assigned a Buy rating on BCLI, and a price target of $12. This implies 247.8% upside potential to current levels.

McCarthy comments, “Brainstorm remains well-funded as it works with regulators to determine the path to a Biologics License Application (BLA) in ALS, and to advance NurOwn in multiple sclerosis (MS).”
