Spyre Therapeutics (SYRE) took a hit Wednesday after its experimental rheumatoid arthritis treatment failed to pass muster in midstage testing.
But **** ysts are far more interested in Spyre's inflammatory bowel disease drugs. These conditions include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
"Even excluding all non-UC (ulcerative colitis) indications, our PT (price target) would remain at ~$115, well above current trading levels," Wedbush **** yst David Nierengarten said in a client note. "While we view the RS (rheumatoid arthritis) results as disappointing, we see limited impact to our core IBD-driven (inflammatory bowel disease) thesis."
Still, Spyre stock fell 1.8%, closing at 93.61. Shares are highly rated with a strong IBD Digital Relative Strength Rating of 98, putting the stock's 12-month performance in the leading 2% of all stocks.
Spyre's drug, dubbed SPY072, actually showed some effectiveness in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. But the results didn't pass the company's internal bar for advancement. Spyre is still testing SPY072 in other rheumatology indications, including psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis.
