The Quick Take

  • Research Capital has a Speculative Buy rating and a CA$25 per share target price on Algernon Pharmaceuticals.
  • Research Capital ranks Algernon Buy on news it filed its Q1 FY22 financial statements, reported analyst Andre Uddin a Jan. 28 research note.
  • Algernon reported a Q1 FY22 net loss of $1.2 million ($1.2M), lower than both Research Capital's estimated $1.4M and Q1 FY21's $3.4M.
  • At quarter's end, Nov. 30, 2021, Algernon had $2.8M in cash and no debt.
  • Algernon's current valuation is favorable in terms of risk-reward.
  • An important catalyst expected in Q2/22 is results of the Phase 2a trial in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and chronic cough underway in Australia.

Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AGN:CSE; AGNPF:OTCQB; AGW:FSE) is "back on track and focused on its pipeline," Research Capital Corp. analyst Andre Uddin noted.

In addition to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the drug repurposing firm is advancing Ifenprodil in refractory chronic cough and recurrent small cell carcinoma, aiming to commence a clinical trial in each of the two latter indications in 2022.

"We view refractory chronic cough as Algernon's priority indication down the road and believe investors should keep a close eye on it," Uddin wrote.

Regarding its clinical program using N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in stroke, the biopharma filed a clinical trial application in the United Kingdom to conduct a Phase 1 study.
