“. Post a solid quarter of execution in 2Q18, we reiterate our OW rating and 12-month PT of $20. The peak sales potential of NEOS’s ADHD platform and pipeline are underappreciated, in our view. We think continued success with the sales of its key drugs (Adzenys Adzenys ER) as well as pipeline advancements will drive upwards earnings revisions to levels not reflected in the consensus and move NEOS’s stock higher. NEOS shares are trading +4% intraday.”
