Cynapsus Therapeutics is a specialty pharmaceutical company that works on developing a sublingual thin film to help the patients who suffer from Parkinson’s disease, and recently it was announced that the company has registered the last patient in its pivotal Phase 3 clinical study, which examines the effects of its sublingual thin film for the treatment of debilitating OFF states in Parkinson’s disease. Since the beginning of the year, the company’s stock is up by 6.87%. In its last quarterly financial report for the three months ended March 31, Cynapsus Therapeutics disclosed a net loss of $8.4 million and a loss per share of $0.68, which compares to a net loss of $4.1 million and a loss per share of $0.78 for the same quarter a year earlier. Recently, Janney Montgomery Scott has initiated coverage on the stock with a ‘Buy’ rating on the stock, at a price target of $24.00.

At the end of March, there were 13 investors long Cynapsus Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CYNA) from Insider Monkey’s database. Among them, the largest stake held Orbimed Advisors, and the second most valuable position was owned by Dennis Purcell’s Aisling Capital, worth around $12.2 million. Some other hedge funds with similar optimism encompass Jacob Gottlieb’s Visium Asset Management, Phill Gross and Robert Atchinson’s Adage Capital Management and Israel Englander’s Millennium Management.

On the other hand, investors who lost interest in Cynapsus Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CYNA) and sold off their positions include Kevin Kotler’s Broadfin Capital, which dumped the biggest stake valued at close to $8.9 million in stock, and D. E. Shaw’s D. E. Shaw, which dumped its stock, about $0.2 million worth.
