Canaccord Genuity analyst Dewey Steadman maintained a Buy rating on KemPharm (NASDAQ: KMPH) today and set a price target of $11. The company’s shares opened today at $5.30.
Steadman commented:
“We are encouraged by KemPharm’s progress with the ADHD program, and believe it represents a significant value-creating opportunity in the coming quarters. We maintain our BUY rating and $11 PT on KMPH shares. Positive IV Human Abuse Potential data bode well for upcoming ADHD reads. KemPharm announced positive results for their KP415 human abuse study, showing drug liking scores similar to placebo when administered up to the highest safest dose. There was no significant difference in mean and placebo. However, there was a numerically significant difference in mean and d-methylphenidate at equimolar doses. Drug liking is a proxy for the potential for drug abuse.”
