Reason

H.C. Wainwright analyst Brandon Folkes assumed coverage of Rani Therapeutics with a Buy rating and $11 price target. The firm believes the company has "three significant value drivers," its platform technology RaniPill, a recently announced collaboration agreement with Chugai Pharmaceutical for the development of a hemophilia product, and potentially an additional five drug targets, as well as RT-114, an oral GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist candidate. It expects data readouts on RT-114 to be the biggest driver of near-term value creation for Rani shares.

Reason

Maxim raised the firm's price target on Rani Therapeutics to $10 from $5 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company announced a licensing deal with Chugai Pharmaceutical for RaniPill technology and a concurrent private placement to raise $60M in proceeds. The Chugai deal offers both non-dilutive financing as well as "key validation" for RaniPill, the analyst tells investors.
