Cancer-Focused Janux Therapeutics Platform Has 'Tremendous Opportunity': Analyst
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on Janux Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:JANX), highlighting its TRACTr/TRACir platform's potential in targeting various tumor antigens and cancer types. The firm is optimistic about JANX's lead product, JANX007, for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, projecting it could reach peak US sales of $1.3 billion by 2031. Despite early but compelling clinical data, JANX007 faces intense competition. Janux's strong financial position, with a cash balance of $344 million in 2023 and a recent capital raise of $296.5 million, supports the advancement of JANX007 and other programs. Cantor sets a price target of $100 for JANX, currently trading up 4.31% at $40.30.
