Alimera (ALIM) Gets a Buy Rating from B.Riley FBR


B.Riley FBR analyst Andrew D’silva maintained a Buy rating on Alimera (ALIM) on January 7 and set a price target of $2.75. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $0.88.

D’silva observed:

“We establish our $2.75 price target through an EV/sales valuation methodology on our 2020 projections, applying a 4x multiple to Iluvien’s DME-related sales of $68.9M and Iluvien’s NIPU sales of $8.9M. We then discount our sales estimates by 15% annually to 2019 and apply an 85% probability of success for NIPU to account for risks associated with obtaining regulatory approval.”

According to TipRanks.com, D’silva is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 10.4% and a 41.7% success rate. D’silva covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as EyePoint Pharmaceuticals Inc, Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, and Oramed Pharmaceuticals.
