H.C. Wainwright analyst Andrew Fein maintained a Buy rating on Catalyst Pharma (CPRX) today and set a price target of $6. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $3.08.
Fein noted:
“Our price target of $6/share is based on an equally weighted composite of: (a) $6.62/ share, as a 35x multiple of taxed and diluted 2024 GAAP EPS of $0.57 discounted back to 2018 at 20%; and (b) an NPV of discounted cash flows between 2018-2024 of $4.46/share (discount rate 12%, growth rate 2%). Risks to our investment thesis and target price include: (1) failure of Firdapse to secure regulatory approval in the US; and (2) failure of Firdapse to achieve peak commercial revenue estimates in our model due to market size, penetration rates, and/or pricing.”
According to TipRanks.com, Fein is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 12.3% and a 46.1% success rate. Fein covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Proteostasis Therapeutics Inc, ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc, and Strongbridge Biopharma Plc.
