  • KURA

  • Credit Suisse has raised the price target on Kura Oncology Inc (NASDAQ: KURA) to $29 from $27.

  • The analysts say that evidence of an effective and tolerable agent and a clear recommended phase 2 dose for ziftomenib should support an upside of ~$8-10/share to their NPV. A topline update from Phase 1b study is expected in Q3 and detailed data in Q4.

  • Downside scenarios include an incomplete/inconclusive update that may disappoint expectations, though the scenario is unlikely.

  • Fully de-risked, Credit Suisse believes the relapsed or refractory setting might be worth ~$18/share, with expansion into the frontline setting taking the total asset value to ~$40-45/share.

  • The analysts view ziftomenib as best-in-class potential among the menin inhibitors, as it may differentiate on tolerability/safety and allow for a more comprehensive combo strategy.

  • With initial approval in 2025, peak sales can potentially be over $1 billion, assuming successful frontline expansion.

  • Kura's management has consistently said that a 20-30% CR/CRh rate with mDOR 4-6 months would likely be an approvable profile, consistent with the company's survey/KOLs.

  • Price Action: KURA shares are up 6.15% at $19.04 during the market session on the last check Wednesday.

The S&P 500 might still be down 10% for the year, but the index has gained 17% since its mid-June low, and with the macro environment appearing friendlier, investors will be hoping the change of sentiment won’t be a temporary one.
