B. Riley raised the firm's price target on Capricor Therapeutics to $50 from $21 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The clinical data support a higher probability of Deramiocel approval, with statistically significant and clinically meaningful efficacy across primary and key secondary endpoints, positioning it as a potential first disease-modifying therapy for DMD and associated cardiomyopathy with a favorable safety profile, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Updated assumptions reflect a 75% probability of success, approximately $380M in pro forma cash, and $1.1B in risk-adjusted net sales by 2030, with substantial royalty-driven upside for Capricor, the firm says.

Piper Sandler raised the firm's price target on Capricor Therapeutics to $45 from $20 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes last Wednesday, the Phase III HOPE-3 trial met the primary endpoint showing a significant 1.2 point absolute difference from placebo in the Performance of the Upper Limb 2.0. Deramiocel also met the key cardiac endpoint showing an absolute 2.4% improvement in LVEF, representing a 91% slowing of decline vs. placebo. Capricor will submit HOPE-3 data as a response to the FDA's CRL under the current BLA for deramiocel in DMD cardiomyopathy by year-end 2025. Piper anticipates a Type II 6-month review resulting in potential deramiocel approval by mid-2026.

Reason
Oppenheimer raised the firm's price target on Capricor Therapeutics to $54 from $22 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares following deramiocel's broadly positive Phase 3 results and the company's financing. The firm believes deramiocel's clinical profile stands second to none relative to approved Duchenne muscular dystrophy therapeutics, and its projected 2031 sales of about $1.1B in the U.S. alone through partner NS Pharma may prove conservative.

Maxim raised the firm's price target on Capricor Therapeutics to $50 from $25 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm cites the company's top-line data from the HOPE-3 trial for Deramiocel ) in Duchenne muscular dystrophy meeting both the primary endpoint of PuL2.0 and the key secondary endpoint of left ventricular ejection fraction at statistically significant levels, as well as other measures, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The data demonstrated both skeletal and cardiac benefits, which tracked with prior observations in both the HOPE-2 phase 2 and HOPE-2 open-label extension, the firm added.
