Cantor Fitzgerald Thinks Spectrum Pharmaceuticals’ Stock is Going to Recover


In a report released today, Alethia Young from Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated a Buy rating on Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (SPPI), with a price target of $17. The company’s shares opened today at $9.25, close to its 52-week low of $6.22.

Young said:

“: We are lowering our price target to $17 (from $19) and reiterating our Overweight rating. Spectrum announced this morning that it has voluntarily withdrawn its BLA filing for Rolontis due to the FDA’s request for additional manufacturing-related information. In speaking to management, all FDA questions were related to the CMC module of the BLA vs. any preclinical or clinical data. Management thinks they can address these issues fairly quickly, but not by the March 29th deadline (end of 60-day review period) and therefore chose to withdraw and refile at a later date.”

According to TipRanks.com, Young is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 9.1% and a 51.2% success rate. Young covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Sarepta Therapeutics, and Puma Biotechnology.
