Nektar to report additional data in coming months, says Mizuho

Mizuho analyst Difei Yang reiterates a Buy rating on Nektar Therapeutics with a $103 price target following last night’s Q2 results. Data readouts of NKTR-214 remain the main catalyst for the shares, Yang tells investors in a research note. She points out that management expects to present data at a number of conferences in the coming months, including melanoma data at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer on November 7-11. While details on additional data in other indications “were sparse,” data should be announced over the coming six-to-eight months, Yang contends.
