Stifel Nicolaus analyst Derek Archila maintained a Hold rating on Aimmune Therapeutics (AIMT) today. The company’s shares closed last Monday at $24.32.
Archila commented:
“We continue to expect the focus of the Adcom to be on safety – risk of anaphylaxis and use of epinephrine – which is not “new” news and we think also around the long-term use/safety of AR101 in patients (i.e. EoE). We think this should provide some relief for shares today as the investors’ “worst case” scenario in terms of the panel may be off the table as the agency struck a relatively positive tone in the docs, in our view. With the stock continuing to move up ahead of the Adcom, we think the risk/reward at these levels is less favorable once Palforzia is approved given the commercial/logistical challenges we feel lay ahead, which is core to our thesis, and the Adcom isn’t completely devoid of risk.”
