Analysts Sees Over 50% Upside Opportunity For This Newly Listed Obesity Player Stock, Participating In Big Pharma Race


20-Year Pro Trader Reveals His "MoneyLine"

Ditch your indicators and use the "MoneyLine." A simple line tells you when to buy and sell without the guesswork. It’s a line on a chart that’s helped Nic Chahine win 83% of his options buys. Here's how he does it.


  • Guggenheim Partners initiated coverage on Structure Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:GPCR) with a Buy rating and a price target of $50 based on the multi-billion-dollar potential of oral small GLP1R agonist GSBR-1290. 
  • Suppose Phase 2a results in late 2023 demonstrate acceptable on-mechanism tolerability and at least 5% weight loss at 12 weeks in the obesity arm of the study. In that case, the analyst sees potential for ~2x return in the next 12-18 months, with a 4x return possible with robust Phase 2b data in 2025 and the GIPR/GLP1 oral co-agonist advancing into the clinic. 
  • Ultimately, the analyst sees positive GSBR-1290 results catalyzing a major partnership/collaboration with a large biopharma.
  • BMO Capital Markets has initiated coverage on Structure Therapeutics with a price target of $40 and an Outperform rating.
  • The analyst writes that the company's lead asset GSBR-1290 could be a competitive oral option in the growing obesity and type 2 diabetes market, with data coming in 4Q23. 
  • Injectable options dominate the market, but BMO's proprietary survey work suggests a strong desire for effective oral formulations.
  • The space has large players, including Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE: LLY), Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE), and Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE: NVO).
  • GSBR-1290 could launch by 2027, well within the likely timeframe for launches of competitive assets.
  • BMO also notes the upside potential from follow-on assets in pulmonary and metabolic indications.
  • Price Action: GPCR shares are up 4.58% at $25.10 on the last check Tuesday.
