What are Wall Street analysts saying about Acorda Therapeutics stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Acorda Therapeutics stock:
- 1. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "Stifel analyst Paul Matteis lowered the price target on Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACOR) to $7.00 (from $12.00) while maintaining a Hold rating." (8/2/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Acorda got a huge boost with the approval of Inbrija in the United States, slightly before the scheduled time period. The drug is also under review in the EU with a decision expected in 2019. Inbrija was launched in February and registered its first sales in the first quarter. Acorda is seeking collaborations on the ex-U.S. commercialization of Inbrija with potential partners both across Europe and Japan. However, its key multiple sclerosis drug Ampyra is facing a generic competition which is significantly hurting Acorda’s top-line. The company expects to see a persistent decline in Ampyra sales during the quarters ahead in 2019. Shares of Acorda have underperformed the industry in the year so far. Nonetheless, Acorda boasts a strong pipeline addressing a wide range of disorders. The restructuring initiative is also saving costs." (7/3/2019)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ". We reiterate our Neutral rating but raise our price target on ACOR to $20 from $19. On Thursday, Acorda reported 4Q18 financials and detailed future commercialization plans for Inbrija, including monthly WAC pricing of $950, ~25% higher than our projections. The company reported net Ampyra revenues of $64.2M, higher than consensus $46.8M, reflecting a steep decline from the prior quarter, but clearly not as bad as some expected (we were $75.8M). That said, we anticipate Amp revs to continue to decline and therefore do not include Amp sales in our valuation of ACOR shares. Going forward, we see Acorda’s fate being clearly in the hands of Inbrija for the next phase of growth." (2/15/2019)
