After Jefferies and SunTrust Robinson gave Amarin (NASDAQ: AMRN) a Buy rating last month, the company received another Buy, this time from Cantor Fitzgerald. Analyst Louise Chen maintained a Buy rating on Amarin today and set a price target of $35. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $18.35.
Chen observed:
“We think the peak sales potential of Vascepa is underappreciated. Therefore, upward earnings revisions to levels not reflected in FactSet consensus expectations should drive AMRN shares higher. Valuation Summary We continue to use a blend of DCF and multiples (EV/EBITDA) analysis to get to our 12-month price target of $35.”
