In a report released today, Derek Archila from Stifel Nicolaus reiterated a Buy rating on Urogen Pharma Ltd (URGN), with a price target of $63. The company’s shares opened today at $39.66, close to its 52-week low of $36.95.
Archila said:
“We are reiterating our Buy rating on URGN shares post its 4Q18 financial report and business update. We remain bullish on its lead program, MitoGel (UGN-101) which is being developed as a non-surgical treatment option for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), a niche, but high unmet need patient population. We continue to await the completion of URGN’s OLYMPUS Phase 3 study for MitoGel in UTUC, which we previously estimated could finish in the August 2019 timeframe in order for ~75% of patients achieving a CR to reach the 6-month time point. While there was not much new in terms of an update on last week’s conference call, we believe the company remains well positioned to execute on its plan to complete its rolling NDA submission in the 2H19 setting up a 1H20 launch along with the ability to leverage its RTGel platform for business development opportunities.”
