After H.C. Wainwright and BTIG gave Axsome Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: AXSM) a Buy rating last month, the company received another Buy, this time from Cantor Fitzgerald. Analyst Charles Duncan reiterated a Buy rating on Axsome Therapeutics Inc today and set a price target of $25. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $13.46.
Duncan commented:
“We reiterate our Overweight rating and $25 PT on AXSM. Axsome pursues new indications for drugs approved in other indications, sometimes using new combinations or new routes of administration. We see this as a relatively balanced risk strategy and view the pipeline as robust, with trials spanning CNS and pain indications. We particularly value AXS-05 and its applicability to neuropsychiatric indications where we feel the individual compounds dextromethorphan (DM) and bupropion (BP) are derisked through proven efficacy in related indications.”
