Astria Therapeutics

ATXS

Market cap $722M

I maintain a hold rating on Astria Therapeutics with an updated $13 target price following Biocryst's announced acquisition, expecting a 90%+ chance of deal closure by Q1 2026. The investment thesis shifts from clinical catalyst to merger arbitrage, with strong strategic rationale for BCRX to acquire ATXS and minimal regulatory or financial barriers anticipated. Navenibart (STAR-0215) is viewed as a best-in-class prophylaxis agent, and the acquisition offers shareholders a liquidity event, mitigating phase 3 and competitive risks.

Astria Therapeutics, Inc. (ATXS) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.55 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.41. This compares to a loss of $0.42 per share a year ago.
