Oncopeptides (Buy, TP: SEK15.00) - Growing its market presence
Oncopeptides reported its Q1 results on 4 May. Sales, but also operating expenses, were lower than we expected (mainly due to a repayment of R&D costs). The company said its plan, based on the activities in Europe only, would take it to profitability in 2026, one year later than we initially expected. Our forecasts include additional capital raises in 2023 and 2024 (and the corresponding dilution). Based on our forecast adjustments, we reiterate our BUY but have cut our target price to SEK15 (22).Oncopeptides AB is a Sweden-based clinical development pharmaceutical company, which is primarily engaged in the healthcare industry. The Company focuses on research and development of cancer treatment solutions. The Company's product Ygalo is a peptidase potentiated alkylator, a type of cytotoxic drug that is targeted for use in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Ygalo is an alkylating agent that leverages the overrepresentation of peptidase enzymes in cancer cells to rise the concentration of active cancer fighting molecules in myeloma cells. Ygalo is intended for the treatment of patients with late-stage relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Ygalo is administered intravenously and is transported into cells where it is cleaved by peptidase enzymes, which impair transport of its active cancer-fighting agents out of the cell at the same time as driving more Ygalo into the cell.
