H.C. Wainwright analyst Ram Selvaraju reiterated a Buy rating on Ocular Therapeutix (NASDAQ: OCUL) today and set a price target of $10. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $7.91.

Selvaraju commented:

“We continue to believe that Dextenza has the potential to obtain regulatory approval in the U.S. by the end of 2018 and start generating revenue around mid-2019. The company plans to apply for a pass-through reimbursement status (C code) for Dextenza. With bundled pricing of cataract surgery, Dextenza should be priced above $480 per dose according to CMS guidelines, in our view. In the wake of this update, we reiterate our Buy rating and $10 price target.”
