Lipocine (LPCN) Gets a Buy Rating from H.C. Wainwright


H.C. Wainwright analyst Oren Livnat reiterated a Buy rating on Lipocine (LPCN) today and set a price target of $5. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $1.93.

Livnat noted:

“Valuation and risk. Our $5 target includes $3/share DCF value for Tlando oral TRT for hypogonadism, plus a $2/share value for the LPCN-1144 NASH opportunity. Our Tlando DCF still reflects just a 30% probability of success, 13% WACC discount rate and 2% terminal growth beyond 2024. Our model reflects late-2019 Tlando approval, a commercial partnership, 2020 launch, and peak partner sales over $300M generating over $75M annual royalty revenue to Lipocine.”

According to TipRanks.com, Livnat is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 10.6% and a 49.2% success rate. Livnat covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc, Taiwan Liposome Company Ltd, and Collegium Pharmaceutical.
