Research from Water Tower Research

Water Tower Research is a leading equity research firm that provides research on micro, small and mid cap companies.

Water Tower Research was founded by Wall Street veterans after witnessing a fundamental shift in the investment research industry with the result being a declining knowledge base among investors, a lack of awareness and a shrinking pool of fundamental research being conducted on companies across the small-cap and micro-cap spectrum. The same issues are now increasingly occurring in the mid-cap space. This sea change within the investment community is impacting not only the companies themselves but also current shareholders and potential investors. With significantly less active sell-side sponsorship by Wall Street, a substantial information gap has developed between companies and various constituents in the financial community. The net result is fewer channels for insight and information to flow between companies and investors.

There are two potentially positive catalysts for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/immunovant-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33093:1" rel="noopener">Immunovant Inc (IMVT US)</a> . One is news on the resumption of its clinical trials following a voluntary pause of dosing after the company had become aware of a physiological signal consisting of elevated total cholesterol and LDL levels in trials with respect tone of its indication targets.  The company is expected to provide a further update on its current and future indications and timelines in the coming weeks.The other is the prospect of a buyout proposal for the minority holdings in IMVT by 58% shareholder Roivant Sciences. We are of the view that there it is more likely than not that Roivant will proceed with a buyout proposal for IMVT. The expected timeline is when the pending Roivant/Montes Archimedes Acquisition Corp (MAAC US)  merger is completed which is targeted for 3Q 2021. Based on what Roivant has been saying as well as precedent transactions, we would expect a buyout will come with a hefty premium in the 60%-80% range. This is a trade worth considering.
