Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Financial StabilityPliant had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $357M, which management expects can fund operations for at least the next 12 months.
Potential Future DevelopmentBexotegrast could re-enter the clinic for IPF or other diseases, as Pliant plans to analyze the collected data from BEACON-IPF to guide bexotegrast’s future development.
Bears Say
Clinical Trial DiscontinuationThe discontinuation of the IPF clinical program for bexotegrast was due to a higher rate of adverse events in the treatment group compared to the placebo group.
Reduced Sales ForecastThe analyst has zeroed out the IPF indication from the model, significantly reducing expected future sales.
Uncertainty In Stock ValueThe discontinuation of the BEACON-IPF study creates uncertainty and makes it challenging to have conviction in the stock without more clarity.
