#3 - Gossamer Bio (NASDAQ:GOSS)
The small-cap sector is filled with biotech companies, and with good reason. Many of these are clinical-stage companies that lack earnings and, in many cases, revenue. These companies are working on drugs and therapeutics that will potentially be used to treat a range of diseases and other conditions.
Such is the case for Gossamer Bio (NASDAQ:GOSS). The company does not have a commercially available drug. But its lead candidate, seralutinib, is in stage 2 trials. Seralutinib, given the clinical name GB002, targets Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). This condition has a five-year survival rate of approximately 55% with the current standard of care available.
Results from the stage 2 trial are expected by the end of 2022. An analyst from Wedbush forecasts that if the drug could capture 42% of the market and deliver $2.5 billion in revenue to Gossamer Bio if it launches, as forecast, in 2026.
Wedbush isn’t the only bullish analyst. In fact, GOSS stock has a Moderate Buy rating with a consensus price target of $19.60, a 58% upside from its current price.
