YOU WONT BELIEVE: Piper comments on increased interest to invest in arcturus incrementally positive on argenx - You Need To See This

Piper Sandler noted that Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc's (NASDAQ:ARCT) recently filed 10-K mentions funding of $25 million from a "pharmaceutical company" to run a clinical trial for LUNAR-COV19 vaccine candidate as a booster. 

  • According to analyst Yasmeen Rahimi, the investment either means that the undisclosed pharma company believes that ARCT-154 data will be positive or that they have already seen the data and decided to invest ahead of its disclosure. 
  • Either way, she believes that increased interest from "strategics" validates the LUNAR platform, and she has "high conviction" in a positive outcome for ARCT-154.
