Clene Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, has announced new evidence that further substantiates that treatment with CNM-Au8®30 mg delivers a significant survival benefit for patients suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Crude oil prices have fallen by 1%. Meanwhile, Soligenix's share price has seen a massive surge of 282% on the back of positive interim results for its HyBryte treatment.

S1: Clene Inc. released its full-year operating and financial results for the year ending December 31, 2024, on March 24, 2025. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K. However, the information provided, including Exhibit 99.1, is not deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor is it subject to the liabilities of that section.

1) Brief Summary: The company's financial metrics indicate a concerning situation. The performance over the past month, quarter, and week has been negative, with losses of 27.70%, 38.40%, and 12.99% respectively. Sales have decreased significantly both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, with a negative Sales Surprise of -34.20%. The Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Investment (ROI) are both significantly negative. The volume is less than the average volume, indicating a decrease in trading activity. Insider ownership is considerably high, which is a positive sign, but the recent insider transactions are mostly dispositions rather than acquisitions, which could indicate a lack of confidence in the company's future performance. The financial statements show a net loss with negative equity, which is a pressing issue. 2) MARKET_SCORE: Given the negative performance indicators and financial metrics, the likelihood of an upward move seems low. Therefore, MARKET_SCORE: 20

3) PRICE_TARGET: Considering the negative trends, it is challenging to anticipate a price increase. However, assuming a potential turnaround scenario, we could estimate a modest 10% increase from the current price of $3.0737, which would lead to a price target of approximately $3.38. Hence, PRICE_TARGET: $3.38
