Catalyst Pharma (CPRX)
In a report released yesterday, Leland Gershell from Oppenheimer reiterated a Buy rating on Catalyst Pharma, with a price target of $6. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $3.08.
Gershell observed:
“3Q net loss per share of $0.08 was in line with our est. We are just under three weeks away from Firdapse’s 11/28/18 PDUFA date, for which we continue to expect FDA approval in LEMS. On its call, mgmt gave color on launch-readiness, including commercial team buildout, patient support services, and EAP conversion effort. Phase 3 data in CMS and MuSK-MG, indications for which Firdapse has demonstrated clear signs of efficacy, are expected in 2H19 and each could enable a respective label expansion. We forecast ~$500M in peak 2025E sales of Firdapse in LEMS/CMS alone, with MuSK-MG representing an incremental $150-200M revenue opportunity. We recommend purchase heading into Firdapse’s potential approval and launch.”
According to TipRanks.com, Gershell is a 1-star analyst with an average return of -1.8% and a 36.8% success rate. Gershell covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Avenue Therapeutics Inc, Evofem Biosciences Inc, and AzurRx BioPharma Inc.
Currently, the analyst consensus on Catalyst Pharma is a Strong Buy with an average price target of $6.60, an 114.3% upside from current levels. In a report issued on October 26, Cantor Fitzgerald also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $8 price target.
