Hot Undervalued Stocks To Watch For 2019


It has been a while since I updated my thoughts on Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR), and a lot has happened with this biotech over the past year, including a huge development deal with Bristol-Myers (BMY), mixed trial data at ASCO, and ongoing progress with additional compounds in the oncology pipeline. On top of all that, Nektar has a pain asset with potentially impressive upside, an exciting early-stage anti-inflammatory asset, and a significant amount of cash.

Nektar shares sold off hard after the disappointing ASCO results, but have since recovered 40%. At this price, I don’t necessarily think Nektar is seriously undervalued relative to the development risk. That’s a key caveat, though, as better clinical data on the NKTR-214 (or ‘214) melanoma program at the November SITC could restore some bullishness here and there is a lot of potential value in ‘214, NKTR-358, NKTR-262, and NKTR-255 that could be unlocked with future clinical successes.


A Year Later, ‘214 Is Still A Key Unknown

Clearly, the biggest driver for Nektar over the past year has been the rise and partial fall of expectations for ‘214, the company’s proprietary engineered IL-2 conjugate that could become a potent addition to immuno-oncology (or IO) combos. As I’ve written before, the IL-2 concept was validated long ago, but the use of it has been restricted by awful side-effects. While ‘214 showed rather unimpressive results as a monotherapy (something that does concern me…), the safety data have been very encouraging.
