After B.Riley FBR and Jefferies gave Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SPPI) a Buy rating last month, the company received another Buy, this time from H.C. Wainwright. Analyst Edward White maintained a Buy rating on Spectrum Pharmaceuticals today and set a price target of $40. The company’s shares opened today at $21.08.
White said:
“Our $40 price target is derived from a sum-of-the-parts analysis based on the P/E value of Spectrum’s current commercial business, plus an NPV of its proprietary pipeline. We value the current commercial business at $1.90 per share, the pipeline at $12.24 per share, and YE18 estimated fully diluted net cash of $1.65 per share. The commercial business value is based on a P/E multiple assumption of 17x our 2020E EPS of $0.13, discounted at 15%. We assume a 20% discount rate for the NPV of the pipeline and a P/S multiple of 3x.”
