JMP Securities analyst Jonathan Wolleben lowered the firm’s price target on Sagimet Biosciences to $46 from $47 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. While tirzepatide hit on NASH resolution in its Phase 2 trial, the GLP/GIP agonist appears to have missed on fibrosis, the analyst tells investors in a research note. There remains a major disconnect between Sagimet’s valuation and the denifanstat Phase 2 data, derisked Phase 3 program and commercial opportunity where JMP thinks the once- daily oral drug will see broader adoption in the advanced NASH population than injectable options, the firm adds.
