SCYNEXISNASDAQ: SCYX

Scynexis is developing a novel antifungal category called "fungerps" to address antifungal resistance. The company's approved product, ibrexafungerp, has been licensed to GSK with anticipated peak sales of over $500M. Ibrexafungerp commercialization and clinical development was paused due to manufacturing concerns, resulting in a 50% dip in SCYX valuation. However, the issue is expected to be resolved within few months. Considering cash runway >2 years, SCYX is sufficiently funded to resolve the issue and start having an income from milestones/royalties.

We downgrade Scynexis to a sell rating following the voluntary recall of antifungal pill, Brexafemme. Historical precedence suggests that manufacturing recalls can take months to resolve, and for a single-product biotech, we see further downside to the stock price. Concerns around the impact on clinical trials, partnership with GSK, and uncertainty surrounding hospital-based fungal infection trials remain a key focus/risk moving forward.

SCYNEXIS' (SCYX) shares soar 134% year to date, owing to partnership with big wig GSK plc for the development of its antifungal tablet, Brexafemme.
