IO Biotech's stock dropped about 15% after Piper Sandler downgraded the rating from "Overweight" to "Neutral" and cut the price target from $3.00 to $0.50. The move was triggered by the company's announcement that it is reviewing various strategic options such as a merger, sale of assets or liquidation, without providing further details. The analyst justified the downgrade by citing uncertainty around the review process and ongoing cash constraints; the new price target is based on a net present value of roughly $0.20 per share plus a residual value for the pipeline. » Mais em de.investing.com
