What are Wall Street analysts saying about Acorda Therapeutics stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Acorda Therapeutics stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Acorda’s key multiple sclerosis drug Ampyra is expected to face generic competition from mid-2018 in the United States. Hence, Acorda’s dependence on Ampyra for major part of its revenues is concerning. Moreover, though the FDA has recently accepted the company's regulatory applications for Parkinson’s candidate Inbrija’s, the refusal-to-file letter from the FDA in August last year delayed its commercial launch which was expected much earlier. Additionally, discontinuation of the phase III study on its another PD candidates, tozadenant last year is also disappointing. However, the company is presently working on strengthening its Parkinson’s pipeline by focusing on Inbrija. The company’s share price has outperformed the industry so far this year. Estimates have been going down lately ahead of the company’s Q1 earnings release. The company has negative record of earnings surprises in recent quarters." (4/18/2018)
- 2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Ziopharm’s CAR-T Programs Make a Splash at ASH; Reiterate Buy Ziopharm’s 2nd-gen CAR-T shows promise in early study. We attended the 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) over the last weekend, where Ziopharm presented interim results from the ongoing Phase 1 clinical study in patients with CD19 + leukemia or lymphoma treated with Ziopharm’s second generation CD19 + CAR-T therapy. Recall, Ziopharm’s second generation CAR-T cells were manufactured using the company’s proprietary Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon platform which shortens the manufacturing process to two weeks compared to the typical 3-4 weeks for currently approved CAR-T therapies, such as Kymriah from Novartis (NVS; not rated) and Yescarta from Gilead (GILD; not rated). The results from the Phase 1 study show that treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory leukemia or lymphoma (n = 8) resulted in a 50% complete response rate after one month of therapy." (12/14/2017)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "Not what ACOR stock needed. ACOR announced this morning that an increase in blood monitoring for agranulocytosis is being implemented for subjects in the Phase 3 trial of tozadenant in Parkinson’s disease (PD)." (11/15/2017)
