6-28-2010 STW Stock Recommendation
TTNP
TTNP - Titan Pharmaceuticals
TTNP is one of those
biotech’s that seems to go down every time it announces good news. These
patient enough to weather the storms should be rewarded well and the current
share price near a dollar is a great entry point. Not only does TTNP
have several pipeline drugs in PII and PIII trials that should receive FDA
approval in the next 2 years but they also have licensing agreement with
major pharma and patients on other drugs that produce current income. At to
that government funding and you have a rare low cost biotechnology-
pharmaceutical stock that is both financially stable and has great upside
plus a good likelihood of a strong buy out offer.
It was announced last Wednesday that the US Patent and Trademark Office
granted Titan Pharmaceuticals patent protection for Probuphine until 2023.
While the TM had been expected and did not impact the Share price of TTNP
this news protects the expected profits on the great potential of
Probuphine which has shown to be safe and effective in several Phase III
trials. The National Institutes of Health is providing up to $8 million in
funding of the final trial that should be completed by mid 2011 in
preparation for FDA submission and approval.
Titan currently earns royalties on the sales of Fanapt, a schizophrenia drug
marketed by Novartis and developed by Vanda Pharmaceuticals under licensing
agreements. These current quality pharmaceutical partners are also potential
suitors for a buyout of TTNP which would bring a nice return to investors.
The recent share price has been declining in spite of continuing good news
and operations. We believe this is due to the negative bashing of one
misguided biotech analyst and the TTNP is currently undervalued by at least
30%.
