D. Boral Capital analyst Jason Kolbert, in a research report published on December 9, 2024, maintained a Buy rating on Artelo Biosciences Inc. (ARTL:NASDAQ) with a price target of US$6.00. The report follows Artelo's announcement of promising Phase 1 results from its CAReS trial evaluating ART27.13 for cancer-related anorexia.
Kolbert highlighted the trial's success, stating, "Phase 1 results from the CAReS trial showed that ART27.13, a CB1/CB2 receptor agonist, is well tolerated, with only mild to moderate adverse events reported. Importantly, the study demonstrated encouraging efficacy, as two-thirds of patients experienced stabilization or reversal of weight loss — a critical metric for improving outcomes in advanced cancer patients."
The analyst emphasized the market opportunity, noting that "ART27.13's potential as a first-in-class therapy for cancer anorexia and cachexia syndrome could position Artelo as a leader in supportive cancer care." He added that the Phase 2 CAReS trial is "now enrolling at 15 sites across five countries" with "topline data expected in 2025."
Regarding the company's current position, Kolbert noted, "Artelo has just a US$4M market capitalization, which is distressed for a company with a Phase 2 asset in a market with a billion-dollar potential, Cachexia."
D. Boral Capital's valuation methodology combines multiple approaches. Kolbert explained, "We apply a 15% success probability for the Cachexia program and 10% for CIN to our projected revenues, in addition to our 30% risk rate applied in our Free Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF), discounted EPS (dEPS), and Sum-of-the-Parts (SOP) models."
The share price at the time of the report of US$1.23 represents a potential return of approximately 388% to the analyst's US$6.00 target price.
