Coherus BioSciences: A drugmaker with a 501% upside potential
Coherus BioSciences is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on two areas: biosimilars and immuno-oncology. The company has three biosimilars on the market: Udenyca, a Neulasta biosimilar; Cimerli, a Lucentis biosimilar; and Yusimry, a Humira biosimilar. Moreover, the company recently won FDA approval for its immuno-oncology drug, Loqtorzi, as a treatment for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Coherus plans to launch Loqtorzi in the first quarter of 2024.
Despite its growing product portfolio, Coherus' stock has still plummeted by 74% this year. The main issue is the company's unfavorable cash situation. Coherus has less than a year of cash left at its current burn rate. Now, management has pledged to reduce expenses to move the company back to profitability. But investors appear to be waiting for hard evidence that this plan will bear fruit.
Beeindruckendes Handelsvolumen, allerdings bei einer Marktkapitalisierung von 240 Mio handelt es sich hier doch um ein sehr kleines Pharmaunternehmen. Ist hier nicht eher die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass dieses Unternehmen aufgekauft wird?
Das würde für mich auch einen nachzhaltigen aufwärtstrend signalisieren und ggf. „Glücksritter“ rauskegeln. Mal schauen…so bleibt es zunächst äußerst spekulativ. Ich weiß, es gibt wohl einige Analysten, die hier bis 12 Dollar sehen…Analysten eben ;-) Gewinnmitnahmen würden mich allerdings heute leider auch nicht wundern.
