- FDA Designation: Beren Therapeutics' subsidiary Mandos has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the FDA for adrabetadex, aimed at expediting drug development for infantile-onset Niemann-Pick disease type C, marking a significant advancement for the company in the rare disease sector.
- Survival Rate Improvement: The FDA's decision was based on an external survival analysis indicating that adrabetadex significantly improves survival rates in infantile-onset NPC patients, suggesting the drug's potential value and market prospects in clinical applications.
- Historical Context: Adrabetadex previously received BTD in 2016, but the designation was rescinded in 2018 due to clinical trial data; Beren's acquisition of the program in 2021 and subsequent collaboration with the FDA to regain this designation demonstrates the company's strong commitment to the drug.
- Future Plans: Beren plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) soon and expects adrabetadex to qualify for Priority Review, further enhancing its competitiveness and impact in the market.

$24 -> $20
Reason
Citizens JMP lowered the firm's price target on BRT Apartments to $20 from $24 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares following the Q3 print. The firm expects fundamentals to provide a favorable backdrop next year, and thinks additional capital could be accessed through debt refinancing in the future to unlock opportunities for value creation, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
B. Riley raised the firm's price target on BRT Apartments to $21 from $19.50 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm sees the company benefitting from the lower interest rate environment. BRT offers "compelling value" at current share levels despite its small cap size and limited trading volume, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

B. Riley lowered the firm's price target on BRT Apartments to $21 from $22 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company's Q4 results reflected the vulnerability of the Sunbelt apartment market, given continued new supply pressures and upward pressure on operating expenses, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, the firm believes these headwinds are not enough to justify BRT's current valuation discount.
