June 11, 2019– We are initiating coverage of AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. with a Buy rating and a 1-year target price of $9, which is supported by a DCF analysis using a 30% discount rate and a 5 multiple of the terminal value for the projected 2030 EBITDA of $470 million, calculated using an annual MS1819 cost of $18,000 in the US, consistent with the price of the market dominating pig derived pancreatic enzyme replacement therapies (PERTs). We base our valuation on US sales from MS1819 in exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic pancreatitis (CP), with any ex-US commercial success from MS1819, or any commercial success from the early stage beta-lactamase program, serving as upside to our valuation.

May 6, 2019– We are downgrading shares of Digimarc to NEUTRAL from BUY as a result of the stock appreciating above our price target of $43.

June 10, 2019–  SONM is a recent IPO with very limited trading and disclosed financial history. The company operates in a niche market for ruggedized, LTE-connected phones, which we believe will see increasing adoption in the coming years as these products are built into new use cases and applications. We think SONM’s high revenue growth, currently favorable competitive landscape, and emerging profitability/cash flow should be considered in valuing this company. Applying a 1.5x EV/Sales multiple to our 2020 revenue estimate of $220.1 million, we derive a $17 price target. With the limited upside implied, we initiate coverage with a NEUTRAL rating.

The average open rate is approximately 30% but increases to over 50% when it is a triggered email (essentially a follow up to some previous type of contact). Enterprises who are exploring the best ROI in their marketing continue to look to email as the primary form of contact.
