Compass Therapeutics is rated Buy, with risk/reward favoring upside after a sharp post-data selloff. CMPX's lead asset, tovecimig, showed strong PFS benefit in BTC, but OS crossover contamination clouds FDA approval prospects. The Q3 2026 FDA meeting is pivotal; approval could nearly double the stock, while rejection risks 50% dilution and multi-year delays.
Compass Minerals (CMP) is undergoing a structural transformation, prioritizing disciplined capital allocation and operational efficiency over cyclical growth. CMP's portfolio simplification and focus on core salt and plant nutrition segments have improved cash flow, reduced debt, and strengthened financial stability. Despite a 14.9% EV/EBITDA discount to the sector median, CMP's ongoing deleveraging and operational gains are not yet recognized by the market.
Compass Minerals International is rated Buy with a fair value range of $31–$36, reflecting 4–21% upside from current levels. Significant deleveraging, net leverage down from 4.6x to 2.7x, and S&P credit upgrade, positions CMP for multiple expansion. Salt cost normalization and Plant Nutrition margin gains are key forward catalysts; Salt's counter-cyclical cash flows enhance CMP's relative appeal.

COMPASS Pathways (CMPS) is positioned to pioneer COMP360, the first psychedelic drug for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), with expected FDA approval later this year. COMP360 demonstrated primary endpoint success in Phase 3 trials, with potential for less frequent dosing and improved convenience over Spravato, the current TRD market leader. My fair value estimate for CMPS is $13.63 per share, probability-weighted for FDA approval, with upside to $18.65 if approved and downside to $6.96 if a CRL is issued.
