Pantginis commented:
“Valuation and impediments to achieving price target. We reiterate our Buy rating and $7.50 price target. Our price target is based on our clinical net present value (NPV) model, which derives its value from Tavalisse without any current contribution from pipeline assets. This model allows us to flex multiple assumptions affecting a drug’s potential commercial profile.”
