NKTX - Nkarta initiated as a buy at Raymond James on cancer therapy platform
Raymond James has initiated Nkarta (NASDAQ:NKTX) with a buy rating citing the company's allogenic natural killer cell therapy platform for cancer. The firm has a $17 price target (~69% upside based on Thursday's close). Analyst Dane Leone said that he believes the natural killer platform has a wide range of possibilities to be used with other drug classes. He added that clinical data from a phase 1 trial of NKX101 expected in the first half of the year will provide proof of concept, and data from NKX019 in b-cell malignancies is expected before the end of the year. NKX101 is the company's lead candidate under investigation for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. In October, Nkarta (NKTX) gained a license from MaxCyte (NASDAQ:MXCT) for the company's Flow Electroporation technology.
