Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Alethia Young reiterated a Hold rating on Regeneron (REGN) yesterday and set a price target of $441. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $406.86, close to its 52-week high of $431.32.
Young said:
“: We reiterate our Neutral rating and $441 price target. We are discussing incremental Regeneron and competitor updates from the Angiogenesis meeting at the Miami, which smid- cap analyst E. Merle attended. Overall, we see many efforts across academia and the industry to innovate beyond to achieve more durable anti-VEGF treatment options. With brolucizumab entering the market in late 2019, and many early-stage players on the horizon, we expect concerns about Eylea competition to remain in focus.”
