AI Summary
Septerna should be re-evaluated as a wellâfunded, milestoneâdriven biotechâwith a multiâyear cash runway into ~2029 and program nominations that shift value capture to nearâterm catalysts (SEPâ479 nomination, SEPâ631 Phaseâ1 readouts and partner payments)âbut the stock remains highly binary and vulnerable to deârating if clinical data or partner milestones disappoint given its high valuation and concentrated pipeline.
