Shares of Cassava Sciences Inc. (SAVA) soared by 5.05% on Thursday, November 8th, 2024, closing at $116 per share. The surge was primarily driven by a positive analyst rating and price target from H.C. Wainwright.
H.C. Wainwright analyst Vernon Bernardino maintained a Buy rating on Cassava Sciences and set a price target of $116 for the stock. Bernardino's bullish outlook was based on the promising potential of Cassava's investigational drug simufilam as a disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
Cassava Sciences is currently conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial for simufilam, and positive results from this trial are expected to further boost investor confidence in the company's prospects. The analyst report highlighted simufilam's ability to target and disrupt the formation of neurotoxic proteins believed to be a root cause of Alzheimer's disease.
