Can J&J’s Partnership Drive More Upside for Nanobiotix?

Guggenheim initiated coverage of Nanobiotix (NBTX) with a Buy rating and $64 price target, focusing on its JNJ-1900 partnership with Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). The NANORAY-312 Phase 3 trial, evaluating JNJ-1900 in head and neck cancer, is expected to report final data in 2027. Guggenheim sees high odds of success, but the trial remains a key risk.
