Zogenix (ZGNX)

Mizuho Securities analyst Difei Yang maintained a Buy rating on Zogenix today. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $51.85.

Yang commented:

“We spoke to management – they indicated that they did not believe such studies were necessary based on their interactions with the FDA. The key issue now revolves around whether or not ZGNX will need to complete additional studies (which could take 6 to 9 months). For conservative purposes, we assume additional studies will be required and a delayed product launch. With these assumptions, our PT goes to $58. We would be buyers of the shares on volatility at market open.”
