Inventiva Tranched equity raise lifts financing overhang

Yesterday, Inventiva announced an impressive € 348m equity financing round in a multi-tranche approach to finance its ongoing Phase 3 NATiV3 trial with lead asset lanifibranor in MASH. The first tranche of € 94m extends the prior cash runway from mid-October 2024 to the end of 2Q25. Furthermore, a second tranche of € 116m shares could extend runway beyond the expected NATiV3 readout in 2H26 and support a study initiation in compensated cirrhosis. The final tranche of € 116m could be used to fund the company's regulatory filing and pre-commercial launch preparations. For our valuation, we take into account the € 86.6m net new cash on the back of the T1 new shares, which translates into a new TP of € 7 (from € 10) while we reiterate our Buy rating and applaud the lift on the company's prior financing overhang.
