Cantor Fitzgerald Keeps Their Buy Rating on Alnylam Pharma (ALNY)


In a report released today, Alethia Young from Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated a Buy rating on Alnylam Pharma (ALNY), with a price target of $135. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $90.17.

Young observed:

“: We reiterate our Overweight rating and $135 price target. Our small/mid-cap analyst Ellie Merle today launched coverage of Ionis (IONS, N). Ionis developed Onpattro competitor Tegsedi, which is now licensed to and commercialized by Akcea (AKCA, NC). We agree that Onpattro has taken meaningful share and that near-term competition from Tegsedi will likely be limited. Here we note relevant key takes from her launch and our perspective on the TTR market. We think that the overall TTR market opportunity is large, but that increasing diagnosis and treatment rates will take time.”

According to TipRanks.com, Young is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 9.0% and a 53.0% success rate. Young covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and Sarepta Therapeutics.
