Analyst Michael Nedelcovych of TD Cowen has maintained a Buy rating for Molecular Partners AG (MOLN) with a price target of CHF15.00. Nedelcovych's positive outlook is based on several promising developments and strategic planning, which justify the Buy rating.

Molecular Partners AG, a clinical-stage biotech company, has shown progress in its key programs, particularly the MP0533 Phase I AML trial. The company's lead program, MP0712, is also advancing towards its first-in-human trial. Nedelcovych's analysis highlights the company's robust financial position, with cash and cash equivalents totaling CHF 114 million as of June 30, 2025, extending the runway into 2028 [2].

The MP0533 Phase I/2a trial for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/AML has presented encouraging data at the 30th Annual European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress in June. The trial showed increased response rates and greater depth of responses, with 3 of 8 evaluable patients achieving clinical responses after the first cycle [2].

Additionally, the company has expanded its strategic radiotherapy partnership with Orano Med, co-developing up to ten radiotherapy programs. The partnership includes the development of MP0726, targeting mesothelin (MSLN), a tumor target overexpressed across several cancers with high unmet need. The company is also exploring future cohorts of MP0533 in combination settings, both in relapsed/refractory and front-line patients [2].

Nedelcovych's analysis also notes the company's strong leadership, with the appointment of Martin Steegmaier, Ph.D., as CSO, further underlining its commitment to delivering improved treatment options for patients and significant value for stakeholders [2].

The company's financial health remains robust, with a cash runway extending into 2028, supported by its strategic partnerships and promising clinical trial results. Nedelcovych's positive outlook is based on the company's progress in its key programs and effective management of its financial resources.
