FBR Capital analyst Vernon Bernardino reiterated a Buy rating on Rexahn Pharma (NYSE MKT: RNN) yesterday and set a price target of $3. The company’s shares opened today at $0.16, close to its 52-week low of $0.14.

Bernardino wrote:

“On November 7, RNN discussed updates of its clinical-stage drug candidates and reported its 3Q16 results in a company press release. After presenting an early dataset of its lead assets at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) annual congress, we look for RNN to report updated data from several ongoing Phase I/II trials of Archexin, RX-3117, and Supinoxin in 4Q16 through early 2017. These product candidates have recently shown encouraging signs of safety and efficacy in small patient populations so far. Thus, we expect completion of ongoing clinical trials to be positive and support advancement into larger, proof-of-concept (POC) studies that validate their potential in various tumor types. We look for the presentation of new interim data to be near-term catalysts and show RNN shares are currently undervalued given the market potential of its product candidates.”

According to TipRanks.com, Bernardino is ranked 0 out of 5 stars with an average return of -25.4% and a 20.6% success rate. Bernardino covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Actinium Pharmaceuticals, and Conatus Pharmaceuticals.
