#1 GNPX Catalyst - Analyst $5.00 Price Target
Cosme Ordonez, an analyst with Noble Capital Markets, is bullish on Genprex and has provided an Outperform rating on the Austin, Texas company as well as a $5 price target on the view that further trials with humans for its lead drug Oncoprex in combination with Erlotinib (Tarceva) in 2020 will advance its prospects for commercialization.
On top of this, the Noble team are hopeful about the start of human clinical trials this year that will assess the ability of Oncoprex, working together with Merck’s blockbuster cancer drug Keytruda, to curb the corrosive spread of lung cancer.

Biotech stocks are very sensitive to news. One major development -- such as a positive result from a clinical trial -- and share prices can take off in a hurry.
