Roth Capital analyst Jotin Marango reiterated a Buy rating on Stemline Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: STML) today and set a price target of $33. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $16.75.
Marango observed:
“We had viewed that BLA review as a relative gauge of what might happen with Stemline’s Elzonris in BPDCN. Overall, we remain bullish on Stemline and expect Elzonris to be approved ahead of its PDUFA (February 21). We reiterate our Buy rating and are raising our price target to $33. Lumoxiti which make us more bullish on Stemline ahead of the 1Q19 PDUFA. (a) Like Elzonris, Lumoxiti is not a classic ADC but a more compact toxin biologic (toxin conjugate of a variable anti-CD22 fragment). (b) Like BPDCN, HCL is a very rare heme tumor (under 1K patients/year). (c) Although the front-line therapy in HCL is generally a success by hem/onc standards (85% respond to front-line purine analogs), there is no standard of care for those who do not respond or those that eventually relapse (similar clinical picture and prognosis to BPDCN).”
