H.C. Wainwright analyst Oren Livnat reiterated a Buy rating on Antares Pharma (NASDAQ: ATRS) today and set a price target of $4.50. The company’s shares opened today at $3.61.

Livnat observed:

“We expect Antares to execute its existing contingent sales force offers, ramp up commercial infrastructure with 50-60 reps in 4Q and make Xyosted available before year- end. We model Xyosted revenue starting in 2019 ($24M in FY19; 20% of ATRS total revenue), climbing to peak sales approaching $150M. The testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) space remains quite large (approx. 7.5M Rx/year) with generic long-acting injectables now representing 70% of total volume (5.3M Rx/year) growing at an underappreciated strong 12% YoY (Figure 1).”
