PepGen Inc (PEPG) appears to be a good buy at the current price of $3.08, especially considering the analyst price target of $11, which suggests significant upside potential. Additionally, the recent earnings report showed a GAAP EPS of -$0.26, which was better than the expected -$0.30, indicating a slight improvement in financial performance. However, there is a risk of regulatory challenges as indicated by the partial FDA hold on mid-stage trials, which could impact future growth.
