UBS lowered the firm's price target on Altimmune to $24 from $26 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Despite the IMPACT Phase 2b trial setback, UBS still sees a sizeable opportunity for pemvidutide in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Goldman Sachs resumed coverage of Altimmune with a Sell rating and $1 price target, representing 79% downside. The company's data to-date has not demonstrated a meaningfully differentiated profile for pemvidutide in either obesity or metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees challenges for Altimmune to execute the full clinical development program required to bring pemvidutide to market.

Reason
Citizens JMP lowered the firm's price target on Altimmune to $15 from $25 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. Pemvidutide is still a competitive MASH candidate, but its path forward has become more difficult, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm thinks pemvidutide will hit both fibrosis and MASH resolution in Phase 3, but says Altimmune needs additional capital to get through the pivotal MASH program, which will now be the overhang on the stock.
About ALT
Altimmune, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on developing next-generation peptide-based therapeutics. It is developing pemvidutide, a GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist for the treatment of obesity, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and other indications. Activation of the GLP-1 and glucagon receptors is believed to mimic the complementary effects of diet and exercise on weight loss, with GLP-1 suppressing appetite and glucagon increasing energy expenditure. Glucagon is also recognized as having direct effects on hepatic fat metabolism, to rapid reductions in levels of liver fat and serum lipids. The Company has completed the MOMENTUM Phase II obesity trial and is being studied in the IMPACT Phase IIb MASH trial. The Company also develops and commercializes surfactant-functionalized (EuPort domain) incretin-based peptide therapeutics, including (GLP-1-glucagon)/oxyntomodulin, and variants.
