Could be the most undervalued stock their Fat synthesizer only molecule of its kind in clinical development and is much more effective than any GLP1 fat Burner or THR B for Nash and Obesity plus the library of Oncology indications in the pipeline. Their indication for Pediatric Nash is going to propel the stock into the Billions.
4 Phase 3's
A wide array of phase 2 ready + much more!

MDGL 7.4 Billion oral drug
AKRO 3.7 Billion IV drug

The CFO at SGMT is equivalent to saquon barkley or mahomes in the financial world. New SGMT CFO inked the deal - ex PRVB CFO who closed Sanofi deal with max % premium in $1B+ M&As 2.9 Billion. He is incentivised to get the stock price as high as he can in his contract with SGMT. He was brought into to get a deal done. My guess is MDGL or Novartis if your reading the tea leaves. A molecule that is more effective than THR and GLP1 this will be a standalone front line best in class Nash drug in Adults and Pediatrics and will be much more effective than GLP1 and THR betas in combination. Phase 3's Best in class starts in less than a month and phase 2 starts later this year in Pediatrics 20% of kids are obese with fatty Livers. With SGMT Accelerated approval gets this to market in 12 month.

Either way what ever scenario plays out .
1. Partnership
2. Buyout
3. Internal funding

Viking Therapeutics was in the same place a few years back and that stock went from 5.00-100.00 over a few years.
I would argue the molecule SGMT has is more valuable with combinations of GLP1 and THR beta it significantly enhances the efficacy on those molecules. Thirdly The Oral Nash drug is much more effective than Madrigals drug. AKRO drug looks good but they had data on the readout didn't look so hot with major side effects before this last readout and patients would rather take an oral drug. Regardless there will be room for multiple players in the 100 Billion market in the next couple years and add to that the value this fat synthesizer has in combinations with obesity is off the charts thats another 130 Billion market were talking about a quarter trillion dollar market this company will penetrate CMO for SGMT believes the data as it matures will be better than AKRO time will tell Lets not forget about the pediatric indication for NASH SGMT has that is gearing up for Phase 2 20% of kids are very obese & have a form of liver cancer & obesity that alone makes the company worth a lot more than today's value. And their are half dozen oncology indications in the works with their fat synthesizer drug and late stage Acne. Longs will prevail this realistically can be a 50.00-100.00 stock in the next 12-24 Months. And they have the breakthrough designation on the NASH Phase 3'a. Shorts are going to get obliterated sooner than later. You can make book on that And their CFO is a next level executive who worked at Novartis ALXN and was the CFO that inked the provention bio deal with Sanofi plus they have a very seasoned BOD!

The other interesting thing is all analysts have price targets some going as high as $70.00 The only one that has an absurd price target is Goldman Sachs they were higher than lowered to $6.00 I have seen them raise there targets on small bios many times they are the last ones to do so. 6 Buy ratings and one hold Goldman with the hold. The Fat synthesizer oral molecule SGMT has works significantly better than Novo nordisk Ozempic® (semaglutide) and Madrigal (THR-ß) resmetirom. Rezdiffra in the clinic the stats are astonishing better for the GLp1& THR-ß) in combination with SGMT fat synthesizer than the GLP1 or THR-ß alone.

1a. Evaluation of FASN inhibitor & GLP-1 Combination in Preclinical Mouse Model

1b..Artificial Intelligence Based Digital Pathology Reveals Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) Inhibitor Alone or in Combination with Semaglutide Improves Fibrosis in Diet-Induced Obese Mice with Biopsy-Confirmed NASH and Fibrosis

Phase 2 Ready Pediatric Nash indication for SGMT is intrinsically worth Billions. no other company has anything for 20% population of obese kids int he USA.

Looking to build a sizeable position at these levels grabbed a few yesterday and looking to add more the upside on this is substantial.

The new SGMT CFO who is one of the best he worked at Novo, Alexion Pharma (ALXN) 40 Billion Plus market cap.& inked the highest % biotech deal with PRVB that was i with Sanofi for roughly 3 Billion he is incentivized on his contract with SGMT to get the highest price possible for his shares.
You have two heavy weights on the board from Horizon who know consult for Amgen the CMO from gilead who just retired and another Novo Veteran and a women who was at Sagimet and just recently went to Madrigal it seems to me the new CFO was brought into to sign a deal or orchestrate a buyout possibly with AMGN, Novo Nordisk, Madrigal, Gilead who really needs a pipeline extension and SGMT does that for them their oral drug works magnitudes better than Madrigal drug plus you get the multi array of cancer drugs and dermatology drugs with SGMT besides the mechanism in action Fat synthesizer SGMT has it also has an oral Acne drug close to market ready which would be the first oral drug for Acne in decades. The magnitude of the wide array this molecule covers is staggering the versatility is incredible.


Oncology

Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is a hallmark of certain cancers. Increased expression of FASN has been associated with poor prognosis and reduced survival in tumor cell types. Several cancer types have been shown to upregulate FASN to rewire lipid metabolism and change the nature of the tumor cell membrane making these cells resistant to traditional cancer drugs. FASN inhibition can also potentially address the enormous challenge of resistance to cancer therapies.

We completed a Phase 1 clinical trial with denifanstat in 136 patients with advanced, heavily pretreated and mostly metastatic solid tumors, which demonstrated clinical activity in defined patient populations and provides the foundation for future clinical development.

Our strategy is to evaluate denifanstat either alone or in combination with other classes of oncology drugs in specific subsets of solid tumors that are FASN-dependent.

These include:

Glioblastoma โ€“ Denifanstat is currently being tested in a Phase 3 clinical trial in glioblastoma (GBM), by Ascletis, our license partner in China. In September 2023, Ascletis announced the enrollment of 120 recurrent GBM patients in its Phase 3 GBM trial, which it expects will provide a sufficient basis for its planned interim analysis of the Phase 3 trial. If the results of this study are positive, we will explore with regulatory authorities initiating our own registrational trial with denifanstat for the treatment of recurrent GBM.
Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, FASN-dependent โ€“ Planning underway for investigator-sponsored Phase 1 clinical trial of denifanstat combination therapy
Hepatocellular carcinoma FASN-dependent โ€“ Translational studies ongoing
Non-small cell lung cancer/KRAS mutation โ€“ Additional preclinical work ongoing; encouraging results observed in patients with NSCLC KRASM tumors enrolled in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with solid tumors.

The NASH Liver Cancer market will be 100 Billion plus by 2030 Obesity 130 Billion plus SGMT has the best oral in the clinic and a molecule that makes GLP1 and THR-ß) work vastly better in Obesity and Mash than those molecules alone staggering stats. This stock is tremendously undervalued almost no debt 170 Million in cash and one of the best CFO working diligently to get a partnership or buyout done soon.

I will re enter a position today if it dips down to the low 4.00s again.

They have 2 Phase 3 Nash trials ready to go Oral drug that is superior to Madrigal oral drug. and is valued 1/70th price. 1/35th AKRO

The Phase 2 Pediatric Nash should also start this year I don't know any other company with Pediatric Nash 17-19% OF children are obese in the USA.

The combination of their molecule Denifanstat works superior by large margins when combined with GLP1 and TRß[/color]

Plus a large Oncology asset trove along with an oral Acne drug which will be the first new drug in 20 years to market.

The market has overlooked the magnitude of this oral molecule CEO has stated and the CMO believes after the phase 3 it will show better efficacy than AKRO drug which is not oral.

The game changer in this is equation is the new CFO they hired in May of last year.

Viking Therapeutics accuses competitor of pilfering proprietary ...
Chemical & Engineering News

Jan 9, 2023 โ€” Viking Therapeutics has sued a group of companies, as well as their common founder and CEO, Jinzi Jason Wu, for allegedly stealing the trade secrets of a ...



Nevertheless, in 2019, Ascletis BioScience approached Viking again to propose another pact involving the same molecule. Under a similar confidentiality agreement, Ascletis perused Vikingโ€™s electronic files, but over a month into their review, Ascletis backed out of the partnership opportunity.

It was all โ€œa ruse to steal Vikingโ€™s VK2809 trade secrets,โ€ the complaint claims. Five months after the second meeting, Wu founded Gannex Pharma to develop a rival liver-disease drug. The lawsuit purports that Viking discovered the theft after the 2021 publication of Gannexโ€™s patent applications related to the compound. Wu is listed as an inventor on these patents.


Gannex's Strategic Partner Sagimet Biosciences Announces Positive Topline Results from Phase 2b FASCINATE-2 Clinical Trial of Denifanstat in Biopsy-Confirmed F2/F3 NASH

The company was formerly known as 3-V Biosciences, Inc. and changed its name to Sagimet Biosciences Inc. in August 2019. Sagimet Biosciences Inc. was incorporated in 2006 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California.


Rug pull or can the CFO pull a rabbit out of his hat CEO Happel seems overwhelmed not a good pick to run SGMT.

It Looks like the new CFO came in to negotiate a buyout there are big hitters on the board of Directors including Tim Walbert:
Mr. Walbert has nearly 30 years of biotechnology and industry experience. He joins Sagimetโ€™s board following a 15-year tenure as president, chief executive officer, and chairman of the board at Horizon Therapeutics, which he built from inception to a leading rare disease company. In 2023, Amgen acquired Horizon for $28 billion, and Mr. Walbert currently serves as a senior advisor to Amgen.


Paul Hoelscher

Mr. Hoelscher served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of Horizon Therapeutics from 2014 to 2022, prior to the companyโ€™s acquisition by Amgen. Prior to joining Horizon, Mr. Hoelscher held multiple financial executive roles in various consumer products, retail and business services companies, as well as working in the audit practice of KPMG LLP.

The previous CMO of GIlead who just retired from Gilead a few months ago is also on the board:

Merdad Parsey, MD, PhD

Dr. Parsey joined Sagimet Biosciences as president, chief executive officer and board director in September 2010 and stepped down from the role of president and chief executive officer in 2015. He is currently Chief Medical Officer at Gilead Sciences, Inc. Previously, Dr. Parsey held positions at Genentech, Inc., a member of the Roche Group, Sepracor, Regeneron and Merck, Inc. He has worked on multiple development and post-marketing programs from initial human trials to NDA/BLA submissions in respiratory, inflammation, virology, neurology, ophthalmology and gastrointestinal diseases.

AKRO 2 Billion market cap
ETNB 720 Million market cap
SGMT 130 Million market cap with a versatile fat syntheizer molecule that can treat a variety of diseases including a wide array of oncology indications.

Nearly 60 Million shares traded last week A buyout is in the works that why thierry chauche was brought on as the CFO for SGMT this year.


An example of AKRO history:
$SGMT We reached step #3

Akero:
#1 - Sep 13, 2022 Efruxifermin phase 2b results
#2 - Sep 14, 2022 - offering
#3 - Dec 8 2022 - Efruxifermin Granted FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation
#4 - Mar 29, 2023 - Announces Positive End-of-Phase 2 Meeting with the FDA and SYNCHRONY Phase 3 Program
#5 - May 16, 2023 - one more offering
#6 - Dec 18, 2023 - Phase 3 - first patient dosed.

Second example is ETNB 89 Bio:
$SGMT Similar sequence of steps, but for 89Bio


#1 - Mar 22 2023 - pegozafermin phase 2b results
#2 - Mar 22 2023 - offering
#3 - Sep 21 2023 - FDA has Granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to pegozafermin
#4 - Dec 04 2023 - Alignment with the FDA and EMA on Phase 3 Program for Pegozafermin in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
#5 - Dec 12 2023 - one more offering
#6 - Mar 12 2024 - phase 3 first patient dozed

In this case either a buyout a partnership should happen sooner than later with catalyst of completion of FDA meeting on Phase 3 design complete and start of Phase 3
