JERSEY CITY, N.J., Jan. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SCYNEXIS, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCYX), a biotechnology company pioneering innovative medicines to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections, today announced the presentation of preclinical efficacy data on its second generation fungerp candidate SCY-247 for the treatment of mucormycosis at the 11th Advances Against Aspergillosis and Mucormycosis (AAAM) Conference in Milan, Italy from January 25 – 27, 2024.

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.

As a rule of thumb, you should stay away from penny stocks. When you see shares priced near a buck (or even below), there's usually a reason for it – and not a good one.
