In a report released today, Oren Livnat from H.C. Wainwright reiterated a Buy rating on Collegium Pharmaceutical (COLL), with a price target of $23. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $11.24, close to its 52-week low of $10.01.
Livnat said:
“We continue to believe Collegium’s stock is unjustifiably depressed by opioid litigation headlines, as we think the company is the closest thing to a “good guy” in the C2 opioid space, having entered the market well after most of the industry’s bad- behavior is alleged to have occurred, an Xtampza ER label that has clearly differentiated abuse-deterrence claims, and largely promoting to pain-specialists in a hyper-sensitive risk-benefit environment. Collegium is also indemnified from any Nucynta liability prior to January 2018. Going into 2H, we are conservative on numbers, and below consensus and the company’s total revenue guidance midpoint, as we assume a step down in Xtampza ER value/Rx on higher gross-to-nets (GTN).”
