Stifel Nicolaus Believes Argenx Se (ARGX) Still Has Room to Grow


Stifel Nicolaus analyst Derek Archila maintained a Buy rating on Argenx Se (ARGX) today. The company’s shares opened today at $111.32, close to its 52-week high of $114.84.

Archila wrote:

“We believe ARGX’s collaboration agreement with Halozyme Therapeutics (HALO, $16.12, Not Covered) is an important development for the company and the FcRn competitive landscape. Having already validated a small volume subcutaneous dose of efgartigimod, ARGX remains in the lead on this initiative, and we believe the exclusive license signed with HALO for its validated ENHANZE drug delivery technology not only could offer even more dosing convenience for patients, but, based on our understanding from communicating with ARGX, it also prevents other FcRn competitors from collaborating with HALO on a subcutaneous dosing strategy.”

According to TipRanks.com, Archila has currently no stars on a ranking scale of 0-5 stars, with an average return of -7.4% and a 34.7% success rate. Archila covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as DBV Technologies SA – American, Rhythm Pharmaceuticals Inc, and Aimmune Therapeutics.
