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.

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.

Nevertheless, in 2019, Ascletis BioScience approached Viking again to propose another pact involving the same molecule. Under a similar confidentiality agreement, Ascletis perused Vikingโs electronic files, but over a month into their review, Ascletis backed out of the partnership opportunity.
It was all โa ruse to steal Vikingโs VK2809 trade secrets,โ the complaint claims. Five months after the second meeting, Wu founded Gannex Pharma to develop a rival liver-disease drug.

#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

#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
