Capricor Therapeutics Inc (CAPR) Options

It was strictly options and a great ER. Did you listen to it? I am going to load the boat in late April or early May probably another 20k. Wishing you and your family well. Enthalpy.

Hey Ed. Q4 2024 was a good time was is it not on CAPR. This is company is going to make it i think. ESpecially now that SRPT killed a kid. CAPR might become number 1 in DMD if they can get their drug approved. I sold a chunk at $18. Bought back at 11.80. Hope your doing man.

ANY RATIONAL TO THE BUMP YESTERDAY? THOUGHT THE TREND WAS SLIGHTLY LOWER TILL NEXT QUARTER AS THE COMPANY STILL HAS NO REAL APPROVAL YET

Agree about timing this. Lately it's a crapshoot anywhere. Market is unstable at best while war and tariffs/inflation are on front burner. Judges blocking the inevitable re evaluation of scope of government outreach clouds the pictures market cannot get a clear sense of direction. Think we still have 2-3 months of bounce here in investment land

So the bumpy ride is thanks to delaying the earnings report twice? (Or maybe the brokers were giving me bad info just to make me look foolish for the last two weeks.)

: - )

Now I wonder... does clearing this hurdle mean the monthly bottom was yesterday? Two days left for options expiration.
I will be picking up more shares at the end of the week. Just not sure how many. Price below or above 12.50 will determine that.

Capricor Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CAPR), a biotechnology company developing transformative cell and exosome-based therapeutics for the treatment of rare diseases, will release its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024, after the market close on Wednesday, March 19, 2025. Management will then host a webcast and conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET on March 19.

Sorry, I could have sworn earnings were Wednesday last week, but they are this coming week, 3/12 after hours. Did one or two brokers lead me astray? Or was I looking at Rigetti or some other speculative play on my watchlist and got confused? Anyway…

Last week we did get some corporate stuff, some Form 4’s and an 8K, but no earnings yet. I thought the wild swings were in response to a quarterly report, and the worst of it was over, but no such luck.

Well, if it drops to 12, I will sell a 10 for April. Good luck to all.

And condolences to anyone who loses somebody over this stupid DST nonsense. When exactly does the making ourselves healthy again start? Certainly not this weekend.

can live with price short term. and hope they finally get going toward some kind of goal

Thanks. Will pay better attention next time 

You realize that earnings is today after hours. No doubt they will post a loss, as we are not at the point of having positive revenue yet, but just need to not disappoint.

Well, at least if you bought today, that is better than the recent top when it was 30% more expensive.

Still two and a half weeks until March contracts expire. A risk taker would position today, not wait until tomorrow, after the report. How brave am I feeling?

Jumped back in. Hope it helps me

Wow, I hardly ever perfectly time the bottom, but I sold a cash covered put today when it was red, and before I could second guess my play, it was green and up more than two bucks.

Any explanation for the 12% gain?

Oh, well, we were here ten days ago. Nothing to get excited about, right?

With BLA submission in late December, when would the FDA have to accept or reject their application by? Late February?

Breaking out now
Get ready for $70 upon FDA approval

Price target $70-$100 upon FDA approval in a few months
Multi millionaire soon to be

We got the news. We finished the submission and got $10 million. People are so impatient. I’ve waited 4 1/2 years. I can wait 6-9 months for approval. Families and patients should be pushing for a much quicker approval. 30-40 in 2025.

Maybe news tomorrow

My question to you CAPR folks who are likely more versed than I. Is after the submission is sent to FDA for approval (in your case Deramiocel (CAP-1002)) - How long does it take FDA to make a decision on average?

I am following another company MNMD that is in Phase 3 right now for LSD that got FDA Break Through Designation.

Guess I was wrong about the new 5. It is not 20 or 17.50. Not yet. Those were the pump prices. If the pump is over for now, we might hang out around 12.50 for a while, making puts at 12.50 and 10 interesting. Likewise calls at 15 might be worth a shot. Although my next play is targeting March 17.50. If it gets there early, that will inform my next move.

You’ll be sorry. Definitely an easy double from here within a year. I’ve held most shares for 4 1/2 years. Be patient. Linda sounded great - listened to interview last night after 12 days in Puerto Vallarta

Got out yesterday afternoon before that huge dump.
It looked like it wanted to drop below $16.
Crazy AH trading down to $11 and back to $16.
Concern about one of their investigators.
Either way, I am out and hope others can make a better trade than I did. Now moving my money to other more quality stocks. JMO.

What a day. Still not selling.

RFK is irrelevant to how CAPR moves.

Everything is in the price here... plus a lot of birds in the bush. Why anyone would hold this stock AFTER it all happened, no catalyst on the horizeon. Presentation roadmap ends at "today".... is clear indication they know nothing will happen for a good year or two. So it will need a breather - which I believe you see in the chart.

Bios run towards events - not because of them.
GL

Thank you. I have patience and can wait for mid 2025.
The problem is the biotech sector. It has gotten destroyed since Trump picked RFK Jr. as HHS secretary. Hopefully it will recover if RFK Jr. somehow doesn’t get the job.
Just hate the BS manipulation to drop stocks on no news. The stock market is a joke. Many Stocks now move on no news. I have seen stocks move from $1 to $10 on nothing. How is that possible or legal?
Just hope it doesn’t drop lower than $15. Then I might have to throw in the towel and move on.

This stock trades on a lot of hopes, dreams and "ifs".
Not unlikely that whatever they announce, it will be a sell on news event.
It believe it has to cool off until the PDUFA which is ca 1 year away.
When the roadmap a company gives in their presentation ends with "today"...... is usually not a good sign. That is speaking in terms of PPS. For the company, everything is well and funding wont be an issue.

Now down to $17.50. WOW. I can only guess people were expecting news on the BLA submission.
Maybe they are getting financing through the ATM and selling into the market.
Either way, this doesn't look good today.

This stock is ridiculous. I don't know if it is manipulation or MMs getting the stop losses?
Opened at $19.44 and then in 1 minute it went to $20.75 and then the next minute it is down to $18.92.
Clearly, someone continues to keep this below $20. When will they be done????
This is criminal IMO. I am holding because I think it makes a run to $30 once all this crap is over.
MACD histogram on the daily is going to turn positive today.
JMO.

The stock chart looks interesting. The MACD histogram is ready to turn positive.
The stock found support at the 25 day moving average.
PnF chart clearly shows double/triple top breakout past $21.
Nice flag forming. Needs volume to move past $20.
I think the stock will need BLA news to get the volume to move past $20.
I am looking for $30-$40 by mid 2025.

FYI. Conferences this week and next week.
Perfect time to release some updates.

Well yesterday sucked. Moved BACK to $20 again only to get dumped back down to $19.
Looks like it will need significant volume to move back above $20.
2 conferences in early to mid December might help.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I am looking for a firm break past $20 before end of the year.
I am hopeful for continued movement early 2025.
I like stocks that hold up well during sector selloff.
JMO.

Holding up well in bad biotech market right now.
Break $20 and this could get Interesting.

Great news.

Trading range $17-22 IMO. When BLA ready (end of 2024) $30 IMO.

Thought it would've 17 so close. Only have pennies so can't buy much but figure the next level and 23/24. Down to 19/20 then bumping up past 30

Looks like you nearly nailed that floor price.

So, the first reaction to the quarterly numbers makes sense: down on still no P/E ratio (i.e., negative earnings). And then a bounce, presumably thanks to bargain hunters who think that if 20 is a bargain, then 17 is a steal.

We seem to be settling in price-wise. It's not just FOMO* up like last month, although we can, with some regularity, still get 10-15% swings either way to keep it interesting. For options traders like me, who, before the FDA/BLA news, have been buying under 5 and selling covered calls (mostly at 5, with the occasional 7.5 thrown in there) the only question is: What is the new 5? 20 or 17.50?

*with a little BTFD mixed in

Excellent that $21 support held. I was nervous for a little bit.
Now let’s break $22.50 so we can have clear sailing to $30 with target $35.
I am confident (sort of) that this will occur.
Here’s hoping.

Failed $22.50 break multiple times.
Probably time to consolidate before next run.
Might drop and find support at $19.50.
Hopefully not.
Still looking and hoping for volume to power this past $22.50 for good.

The stock chart is showing a nice ascending triangle from Sept 30th breakout from $10.
Using my novice chart skills, I get a target of $35 for the stock (flag pole from $10 to resistance at $22.50 = $12.50).
$22.50 plus $12.50 = $35. Sounds good to me.
Lower trendline has shown nice support but if the stock moves back to $20 then stock might drop back to $17.50.
Let’s what happens this week.
Hoping for move to $25 if the market looks good.

I think what helped the most is that the OS is only 44.7 Mil. with that added in. It appears that a lot of traders are holding making it trade very thin.

LOL ... I've been waiting for almost 5 years for this to go thru all the trials and testing and it sure is sweet :)

That dilution went about as well as any I’ve seen. The news did not even bring us below 18 for more than a wick or two. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the underwriters made out quite well, at least an extra dollar per additional share issued (~5M). Nice work if you can get it.

Sounds good.
Hopefully yesterday was a technical sell off to show $20 support level.
Maybe get rid of those low hanging stop loss orders.
I am not worried about another financing so I expect a nice move to $25 then $30 by EOY.
Enjoy.

No comment on Blackrock report owning over 5% of Capricor?
30 will be here soon. Maybe a short squeeze will pop us up to 40

You never know but these $20 stocks tend to move to $25 or even $30.
I wouldn’t mind a nice 25% profit here.

The small float is getting locked up by big boys everyday
My prediction $30 by Thanksgiving and $50 by Christmas and $100 upon FDA approval in early next year
Thus became the millionaire stock indeed

Piper Sandler PT $35

Piper Sandler analyst Edward Tenthoff initiates coverage on Capricor Therapeutics (NASDAQ: $CAPR) with an Overweight rating and a price target of $35.00.

The analyst comments: "Capricor is developing deramiocel (CAP-1002) to treat cardiomyopathy in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) boys. In the Phase II HOPE-2 trial (N=20), deramiocel slowed LVEF decline by 107% vs. placebo at 12 months. (p=0.002) At World Muscle Society, HOPE-2 OLE data showed deramiocel achieved an 8.1 point improvement in median LVEF and 11.0ml/m2 benefit in median End Systolic Volume vs. external controls at 2 years with benefit maintained out to 3 years. Capricor has begun the rolling BLA submission, and deramiocel could gain FDA approval for DMD cardiomyopathy in 2H:25. Deramiocel is partnered globally with Nippon Shinyaku with Capricor retaining 30-50% of potential blockbuster revenues, plus up to $1.5 billion in milestones. Capricor recently issued 5.1 million shares at $17 raising gross proceeds of $86 million, bringing pro forma cash to ~ $198 million excluding 3Q:24 burn."

time will tell

$12? Never. $17 is the new floor IMO.

My thought is slide back to 12-15 then move to 21-25. Dip again then about 20%up. Never straight unless flooring news

This beast will keep moving up in the coming days
FDA approval is guaranteed and secured huge fund
I expect $50 by Christmas and $100 next year
I am a millionaire here
