Piper Sandler upgrades Alpha Tau Medical to Overweight and lifts price target

Piper Sandler raised its rating on Alpha Tau Medical to Overweight, moving it up from Neutral. The firm also increased its price target to $22, up from $8, a 175% jump. The upgrade was driven by expected oncology catalysts over the next year, according to analyst Allison Bratzel. The stock rallied on the news.

The new $22 target suggests the analyst sees significant upside potential, but it still implies a 99.5% downside from the closing price of $4,515, indicating the market may be overvalued in the short term. Investors will watch whether the anticipated oncology milestones materialize.
