Third-party analyst targets: 6 covering, consensus Hold. The average target sits +1,229% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as fully-to-richly valued here, while the Street is more bullish: a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.

The Business, in Plain Words
Why it gives us pause
At -1.1x forward earnings, the price already runs ahead of the business.
The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; as a biotechnology name, trial and regulatory outcomes can move it sharply either way.
