Spero Therapeutics: Yesterday's Selloff On Utebzi Approval Seems Bewildering

Summary Spero Therapeutics, Inc. and partner GSK receive FDA approval for Utebzi, the first oral carbapenem for complicated urinary tract infections, via partnership with GSK. SPRO stands to receive milestone payments and royalties from GSK, with potential annual earnings of ~$50m and upside if Utebzi achieves blockbuster status. Despite a volatile share price and limited pipeline, SPRO's low burn rate and funding runway into 2028 support a 'buy the dip' thesis for risk-tolerant investors. I initiate SPRO with a Buy rating, viewing the stock as undervalued relative to its prospective revenue streams, but highlight the high-risk, lumpy nature of the opportunity.

Spero Therapeutics: Undervalued Based On Just Tebipenem And GSK Deal

Summary Spero Therapeutics' tebipenem, an oral carbapenem for cUTIs, has high approval potential, supported by a successful phase 3 trial and a GSK licensing deal. The need for oral carbapenems is critical due to rising resistance to current oral treatments for complicated urinary tract infections. Tebipenem's success in the confirmatory phase 3 trial is highly probable, given its prior phase 3 success and publication in NEJM. Despite risks, SPRO's valuation is attractive, with significant upside potential from tebipenem milestones and possible pipeline progress. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
