BerGenBio (BGBIO): Martin Olin succeeds Richard Godfrey as CEO

BerGenBio (BGBIO) has announced the appointment of a new chief executive officer (CEO), Martin Olin, with effect from 8 September 2021. Martin Olin has more than two decades of executive experience in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and previously served as CEO of Symphogen, a clinical-stage biotech developing monoclonal antibody based treatments for a variety of cancers, prior to its acquisition by Servier in 2020. While the timing of this announcement does come as a surprise, we do not expect any disruptions to the current business strategy which the board has always been supportive of. Our valuation of BGBIO is unchanged at NOK4.91bn or NOK 55.8/share.

 

COVID-19 presents a potential opportunity to expedite bemcentinib's route to market in 2022. Discussions with regulators will determine the next steps following top-line data from two Phase II trials (combined data was recently presented at ECCMID). We expect an additional global Phase III study will be required before approval.

BerGenBio (Sell, TP: NOK0.05) - Q1 report

While the Q1 report contained no large surprises, the company announced earlier this week a clinical collaboration with UT Health San Antonio and Sobi to evaluate bemcentinib in combination with Sobi’s pacritinib in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. We reiterate our SELL and NOK0.05 target price on our concerns about the company’s ability to generate sufficient investor interest during its financial runway and ahead of the next need for financing.

BerGenBio (Sell, TP: NOK0.05) - Our concerns remain

While opex fell sharply in 2023 and YOY in Q4, and management maintained the timeline for its BGBC016 study, we remain concerned about a lack of major share-price catalysts ahead of the next needed capital raise. We reiterate our SELL and NOK0.05 target price.
