Gabelli analyst Kevin Kedra upgraded Lexicon to Buy from Hold after the company said Sanofi (SNY) has finalized its termination of the sotagliflozin collaboration with a $260M payment, citing valuation and increased optimism for sotagliflozin's future. In a research note to investors, Kedra says the agreement is a "clean break" from Sanofi while also modestly extending Lexicon's cash runway, and expects Lexicon to have enough cash to support operations into 2021.
