H.C. Wainwright Sticks to Its Buy Rating for ObsEva SA


H.C. Wainwright analyst Ram Selvaraju reiterated a Buy rating on ObsEva SA (NASDAQ: OBSV) today and set a price target of $28. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $12.89.

Selvaraju commented:

“We note that the Phase 2b EDELWEISS trial of OBE2109 in endometriosis patients—which has completed enrollment of 330 subjects—could position OBE2109 as the only GnRH receptor antagonist with the possibility of use without add-back therapy (ABT), which is slated to be required for both elagolix and relugolix (the other agents in this drug class). In our view, the potential for OBE2109 to be used both with and without ABT should provide it with best-in-class status, since the drug would thus have substantial convenience and safety advantages for patients. Positive data in EDELWEISS should pave the way for pivotal entry in endometriosis for OBE2109, with two randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical studies designed to 1,000 subjects combined likely to form the basis of the Phase 3 program.”
