In a report released today, Ram Selvaraju from H.C. Wainwright reiterated a Buy rating on Omeros Corp, with a price target of $35. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $15.51.
Selvaraju wrote:
“We note that Lonza is one of the world’s largest specialty manufacturing companies operating in the life sciences arena, having generated CHF5.5B in revenue for 2018, of which CHF3.1B came from the company’s Pharma and Biotech business. In anticipation of the near- term submission of regulatory filings for approval of narsoplimab, we reiterate our Buy rating and 12-month price target of $35 per share. Rapid narsoplimab review process likely, in our view. We expect the narsoplimab BLA to be reviewed in an accelerated manner, given the Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) accorded to the drug in HSCT-TMA. The FDA has eliminated any requirement for a historical control and may permit not only accelerated approval, but also full approval with the determination to be made based on the submitted data. Beyond HSCT-TMA, Omeros continues to enroll its OMS721 Phase 3 trials for IgAN and aHUS.”
According to TipRanks.com, Selvaraju has currently no stars on a ranking scale of 0-5 stars, with an average return of -7.5% and a 29.8% success rate. Selvaraju covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Biospecifics Technologies Corp, and EyePoint Pharmaceuticals Inc.
The word on The Street in general, suggests a Strong Buy analyst consensus rating for Omeros Corp with a $27.75 average price target.
