In a report released today, Ram Selvaraju from H.C. Wainwright reiterated a Buy rating on Evoke Pharma (NASDAQ: EVOK), with a price target of $9. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $2.81.

Selvaraju observed:

“We anticipate that the FDA should provide notice to the company of acceptance of the NDA for review in early the potential for a final approval decision in 2Q19 (possibly in the April 2019 time frame). We reiterate our Buy rating and 12-month price target of $9.00 per share on EVOK. Investors should note that our current projections continue not to ascribe value to the potential of Gimoti ex-U.S. The company’s cash resources are currently slated, according to management, to fund operations until approximately April 2019. We expect both R&D and G&A spending to trend downward substantially in the coming quarters. Pharmacokinetics may explain gender-specific benefit.”
