Galectin Therapeutics (GALT) Update
Galectin has already more than doubled since our July 3 prediction at $2.18, now trading around $4.70–$4.80. The catalyst was results from the NAVIGATE Phase 3 trial of belapectin in NASH cirrhosis. While the trial missed its primary endpoint in the full population, the 2 mg/kg dose showed a significant benefit in reducing new varices among patients who completed the study, with favorable liver stiffness trends as well.
This partial win keeps the $6 target in sight, though the path is less certain given the mixed data. Near-term moves will depend on longer-term follow-up data, regulatory guidance, and possible partnerships.
Bottom line: The stock has delivered strong gains since our call, but future upside comes with higher risk now that trial results are public.
