Celcuity Inc's stock rose by 5.19% as it crossed above the 5-day SMA, despite the broader market decline with the Nasdaq-100 down 1.79% and the S&P 500 down 1.08%.
This increase is attributed to the company's recent updates on gedatolisib clinical data, revealing a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 16.6 months in the VIKTORIA-1 trial, significantly outperforming the 1.9 months seen with fulvestrant alone. The positive results highlight the therapy's potential for HR+, HER2- breast cancer patients, suggesting a transformative impact on treatment options.
The implications of this data are substantial, as it not only supports future FDA New Drug Application submissions but also positions Celcuity favorably in the oncology market, potentially attracting more investor interest and enhancing its market valuation.

Reason
As previously reported, Wells Fargo initiated coverage of Celcuity with an Overweight rating and $126 price target. The firm believes the upcoming VIKTORIA-1 PI3KCA mutant readout is largely de-risked by the wild-type readout and Phase 1. The current stock price doesn't reflect gedatolisib's market opportunity in breast cancer and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is a free call option at these levels, Wells adds.

Reason
Wolfe Research initiated coverage of Celcuity with an Outperform rating and $110 price target. Fresh off a Phase 3 win for gedatolisib in second-line PIK3CA-wt breast cancer, the firm sees additional upside as the PIK3CA-mt readout looks "primed to deliver next year," the analyst tells investors. The firm views Celcuity as "a top-tier acquisition opportunity for big pharma," the analyst added.

The firm says Celcuity shares have appreciated 608% year-to-date. At current levels, there is more downside risk than upside, contends H.C. Wainwright.
About CELC
Celcuity Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company, which develops targeted therapies for the treatment of multiple solid tumor indications. Its lead therapeutic candidate is gedatolisib, a potent, small-molecule reversible inhibitor that selectively targets all Class I isoforms of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) and the two mechanistic targets of rapamycin (mTOR) sub-complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. Its development programs for gedatolisib focus on the treatment of patients with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-), or HR+/HER2-, advanced or metastatic breast cancer and patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. A Phase III clinical trial of VIKTORIA-1, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant with or without palbociclib in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast has commenced. Its CELsignia companion diagnostic platform is able to analyze live patient tumor cells.
