In a report released yesterday, Louise Chen from Cantor Fitzgerald maintained a Buy rating on Amarin (AMRN), with a price target of $35. The company’s shares closed on Thursday at $18.06.
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.”
