H.C. Wainwright raised the firm's price target on Capricor Therapeutics to $60 from $24 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Capricor rebounded from its July 2025 Complete Response Letter with a decisive clinical win, meeting its primary PUL v2.0 endpoint and the prospectively triggered Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction analysis, positioning its therapy to reach Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients, the analyst tells investors in a research note. With 78% of participants having underlying cardiomyopathy-addressing FDA concerns about sample size-and a conservative approval expectation of mid-2026, shares are likely to trade well into year-end, the firm says.

At the very least, the firm expects Phase 3 HOPE-3 results anticipated in Q4 tot show evidence of cardiac improvements during which case Capricor may pressure the agency to exercise regulatory flexibility to approve Deramiocel for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm added that its models assumed Deramiocel approval in this sub-disease area.
