What are Wall Street analysts saying about Cara Therapeutics stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Cara Therapeutics stock:
- 1. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We view this as a clear positive for the company, as it brings in minimally- dilutive financing ($50M cash plus $20M equity investment at $17/ share), validates our view on Korsuva, and de-risks the U.S. commercial launch. Despite the headline ex-US deal, we’re more focused on the new U.S. arrangement here because we don’t yet include ex-US in our model until we get more clarity on the regulatory and reimbursement landscape (our valuation is all-U.S.), and we assume the U.S. was also the primary value driver here for Vifor Fresenius as well. Vifor Fresenius is a JV of Vifor (VIFN:SW) and Fresenius Medical Care AG (FMS; not covered). We believe Vifor Fresenius is the best possible commercial partner for Cara, with Fresenius itself owning nearly 40% of U.S. dialysis centers." (5/23/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cara Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company. The company is focused on developing and commercializing new chemical entities designed to alleviate pain. Cara Therapeutics, Inc. is based in Shelton, United States. " (3/21/2018)
- 3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Cara announced outcome of planned CR845 Phase 2/3 post-surgical pain trial interim power assessment today. We spoke w/ mgmt for an update. No changes will be made to current randomization ratio across the 3 arms (1:1:1 placebo, 0.5 ug/kg, 1.0ug/kg), however target enrollment will be increased from 125/ arm to 150/ arm. Other pre-specified options were ending trial early due to low probability of success or shifting enrollment to one optimal dose. We view outcome favorably, noting that the two dose arms were evaluated independently by Data Monitoring Cmtee. Implication is that both low and high dose CR845 have potential for statistically significant effect in view of DMC. We had been concerned that low and possibly high dose evaluated in this trial may not be sufficiently high for efficacy. Mgmt guided for completing enrollment for final analysis by YE17. Separately, top-line results from CR845 Phase 2b trial in Osteoarthritis are expected later this month. We are favorably inclined based on encouraging trends in an 80-pt 2wk Phase 2a trial, but acknowledge risks tied to absence of placebo arm." (6/21/2017)
