H.C. Wainwright Thinks Rigel’s Stock is Going to Recover


In a report released today, Joseph Pantginis from H.C. Wainwright reiterated a Buy rating on Rigel (RIGL), with a price target of $8. The company’s shares opened today at $2.21, close to its 52-week low of $1.96.

Pantginis said:

“Valuation and impediments to achieving price target. We reiterate our Buy rating and $8.00 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.”
