Capricor CAPR Surges as Cantor Flips Bullish on Deramiocel FDA Path

Capricor Therapeutics' CAPR stock is spiking in premarket trading after Cantor Fitzgerald upgraded the stock to Overweight with a $28 target, citing the potential for a narrower Deramiocel indication aided by a 24-month HOPE-3 BLA extension. The FDA decision is expected by August 22. Capricor plans to amend its BLA for Deramiocel, while all other pipeline work remains on hold. The company posted a Q2 loss of $0.70 per share and held about $237.9 million in cash, with Cantor projecting up to 278% upside from current levels.

Capricor advances amid mixed HOPE-3 data and FDA review

Capricor Therapeutics posted Q2 2026 results with no revenue, cash about $237.9 million, and a net loss of roughly $40.7 million; HOPE-3 data published in The Lancet showed a statistically significant slowing of upper limb disease progression, while an FDA advisory committee split (3 in favor, 9 against) on Deramiocel’s effectiveness for DMD cardiomyopathy left regulatory questions. The company’s BLA remains under FDA review, manufacturing readiness is advancing, and ongoing NS Pharma dispute and a Form 483 from an FDA inspection are being addressed. Capricor projects a cash runway of at least 12 months and will provide updates as regulatory clarity emerges, with regulatory engagement in Europe/Japan and a focus on expanding to younger DMD patients and Becker muscular dystrophy; other programs are on hold pending clarity.
