Syndax Pharmaceuticals (SNDX) is back on traders radar after showcasing fresh data on its FDA approved cancer drugs Revuforj and Niktimvo at the high profile ASH hematology meeting in Orlando.
See our latest analysis for Syndax Pharmaceuticals.
The momentum around these ASH updates lines up with a strong run in the stock, with Syndax delivering a roughly 44% year to date share price return and a 59% total shareholder return over the last year, even as multi year total shareholder returns remain negative.
If this kind of event driven move has you wondering what else is setting up for potential upside, it could be worth exploring healthcare stocks as your next research stop.
With shares still trading at a steep discount to Wall Street targets despite accelerating revenue growth and two newly approved drugs, investors now face a pivotal question: Is Syndax undervalued or already pricing in its future growth?
With Syndax last closing at $20.37 against a narrative fair value of about $39, the valuation story leans aggressively toward upside and demands closer inspection.
Fixed operating expense base, together with expanding product sales and cash flow contributions from both franchises, is positioned to drive significant operating leverage, boosting net margins and accelerating the pathway to profitability. Late-stage pipeline advancements (including frontline trials, lifecycle management, and expansion into new indications like IPF for Niktimvo), coupled with strong clinical data and market-leading positions in precision oncology, provide robust long-term growth avenues aligned with surging demand for innovative, targeted therapies, supporting sustained multi-year earnings momentum.
Want to see how rapid revenue expansion, shifting margins, and a rich future earnings multiple combine into that upside case? The narrative unpacks every assumption behind that valuation.
Result: Fair Value of $39.31 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this upside case still hinges on successful label expansions and sustained Revuforj uptake, as regulatory delays or safety driven prescribing hesitancy could derail expectations.

Overlaying this upbeat narrative with a simpler price to sales lens paints a tougher picture. SNDX trades at about 15.9 times sales, well above the US biotech peer average of 12.3 times and a fair ratio closer to 1.3 times. That kind of gap suggests real valuation risk if sentiment cools.
