BioDelivery (BDSI)

H.C. Wainwright analyst Oren Livnat maintained a Buy rating on BioDelivery today and set a price target of $5. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $2.96, close to its 52-week high of $3.20.

Livnat commented:

“Our $5 12-month price target (from $4) is based on a DCF which reflects a strong Belbuca sales ramp to over $150M by 2022, cash-flow breakeven by end-2019, and overall profitability in 2020. Our DCF reflects a 10.5% WACC discount and negative -15% terminal value beyond 2027, and reflects a fully-diluted 93M shares out (post-financing, and including other currently anti-dilutive shares). An alternate P/E approach yields a similar $5/share value when applying a 30x multiple (1x PEG) to our 2021 fully-taxed EPS, discounted back to late-2019.”

According to TipRanks.com, Livnat is a 2-star analyst with an average return of 1.2% and a 51.3% success rate. Livnat covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Pacira Pharmaceuticals, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

BioDelivery has an analyst consensus of Strong Buy, with a price target consensus of $4.33, a 46.3% upside from current levels. In a report released yesterday, Cantor Fitzgerald also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $4.50 price target.
