Cantor Fitzgerald Sticks to Its Buy Rating for Electrocore Llc (ECOR)


Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Charles Duncan reiterated a Buy rating on Electrocore Llc (ECOR) yesterday and set a price target of $23. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $7.52.

Duncan commented:

“. We reiterate our Overweight rating and $23 PT on shares of ECOR. The company announced 4Q18 earnings today, and reported gammaCore sales of $368K, above our projected $277K and Street expectations (FactSet consensus of ~$0.3M). The company noted that, as expected, most prescriptions were dispensed under a voucher program in which an additional ~$1.7M worth of prescriptions were dispensed. However, in our view, more-relevant metrics at this stage are prescription trends, especially despite supportive insurance coverage having been established. electroCore reported cash of $68.6M at the end of 2018, which our model projects is sufficient to fund operations into mid-20. Looking back at 2018 progress.”
