$SGMT $VKTX Wow, what a rabbit hole.
It turns out that Ascletis was shopping for MASH oral compounds since 2016. Sagimet (3-V Biosiences at that time) ended up signing a licencing agreement with them for FASN inhibitor which we now know as Denifanstat(ASC40 in Ascletis nomenclature) . And Viking opened their data room to Ascletis twice in 2016 and 2019 for their VK2809
(TRβ Agonist) and Ascletis decided to not sign a collaboration. They "just" came up with their own TRβ Agonist ASC41, and now Viking is suing them for stealing trade secrets https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66688723/viking-therapeuticsinc-v-ascletis-bioscience-co-ltd/
There is even more to this story, but I'll keep this part to myself. The only hint I can give you is that it's not an accident that these 2 specific classes of mash targeting drugs were licensed.
Sagimet shareholders - now you do understand why Ascletis CEO is not in the Sagimet board any more, right?

$SGMT Found a dude on LinkedIn who is a clinical research coordinator at Medical University of South Carolina. He very pedantically specifies all projects he is involved in. To my surprise both Sagimet phase 3 trials are mentioned there with Jul 2024 as a start date of the project. We only figured out about these trials names in November. This gives you an idea that preparations are well underway. Some very interesting negotiations are happening behind the closed doors.

$SGMT The strongest board of directors I've ever seen in this market cap category. The most differentiated oral MASH asset with the complimentary MoA to anything else in MASH. Right people were hired, phase 3 design is blessed, CROs are ready. Anything in dermatology and oncology is just a free add-on.

$SGMT This is an interesting data set. Lets hope funding inside 60-90 days, 1spt patient 90 days after ( 480 on the tally ). this is ok. management seeks the best deal on skittish capital (macro factors at play, tariffs, rates, economic slowdown et al). Finance round will happen gradual cost of capital on the descent will pave the way. TMR let see if FED decides... The next 3-5 year is a golden age for life sciences as technology (ai screening, et cetera ) & lower cost of capital tail winds will fund discovery... With the right moves we will beat the averages & indexes more than twice over every single year. With the right moves we will beat the averages & indexes more than twice over every single year. Welcome collaborations, in life sciences & with some caution in tech ( my focus/experience is centered in life sciences & credit - id like to expand ).

$SGMT George's and David's largest option tranches are priced at 6.36 and 7.15. They are not going to dilute at current levels. George is 63, Dave is 62. Do they really want to run stay on top of running a multi-year long phase 3 trial? No idea, but they hired Thierry to not do a massive dilution deal here. Recall that David said "we have 170M, we need 400M to get to phase 3 outcome". 230M difference. There is a lot of companies with cash out there. I'd take 20 in cash + CVR and call it a day.

$SGMT @Peterson28 has a point that it will be rocky for a period. @valuerme is absolutely correct on the "icing on the cake" market cap differential ! SGMT, whether @ $4 or $6 is trading @ just or below its cash balance -> as if its science is worth $ Zer0 ... humm not the case, great 2b results, pathway to accelerated approval, and unique MoA. by the way @Peterson28 IBRX is dump of a company, lacks any comparability w/ SGMT. For one 700 million shares, ~$800 million in debt, a thinly relevant product, a balance sheet held w/ duck tape. That is the wrong company to attempt to make your point. I am prepared to be fully allocated in a price range of $4 to $7... Not a market timer but a long term investor on fundamentals. I am prepared to catch the bumpy road to 2026-27 and cash in @ 5-6X my money...

$SGMT Great post !!! To enrich the thought: the two alternative competitive trends are (1) FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor, engineered hormone to manage metabolism of lipids) and, (2) THR-β (thyroid hormone beta agonist also designed to manage metabolism lipids) both assist in metabolizing lipids after the body has created them - a kin to fat burner (i did not say it is a fat burner). On the other hand, denifanstat from SAGMT is a FASN is an inhibitor, not hormonal, and helps the problem from the root cause regulates/inhibits the production of fat : "PREVENTIVE". This is the ONLY mechanism of action attacking the problem early on. Candidate patients who may have thyroid issues, could benefit from Deni whereas the other therapies may cause problems. Furthermore not only does the phase 2b data is very strong, and management is being very adept and following on an achievable regulatory path but Deni appears to be the most benign in terms of gi side effects of the lot of MASH candidates.

$SGMT next leg up consolidating and incoming! “Analysts note that denifanstat's fibrosis benefit appears underappreciated by the market, especially when compared to other late-stage NASH candidates such as FGF21 analogs. The drug's efficacy in reducing progression to cirrhosis and its strong two-step fibrosis response have caught the attention of hepatologists, who recognize its differentiated mechanism in the competitive NASH landscape.”

$SGMT You're absolutely ignoring the huge valuation gap that exists between Sagimet, AKRO and ETNB, 2 pure play MASH players that are less than a year ahead on their phase 3 MASH trials with non-oral FGF-21 molecules. They have no opportunities to apply these molecules elsewhere, unlike FASN than will find its way in acne and maybe in some cancers. The only reason why this valuation gap exists is a cash pile difference. AKRO and ETNB has cash to run phase 3 MASH trials to competion. Sagimet is not. When Sagimet solves this, it should immediately start climbing to the positive EV territory as the molecule is highly differentiated and complimentary with a lot of other MoA
