What are Wall Street analysts saying about Aerie Pharmaceuticals stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Aerie Pharmaceuticals stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Aerie received a significant boost with the recent approval of lead drug Rhopressa. The approval came ahead of the PDUFA date. Meanwhile, Aerie is also evaluating Roclatan, a once-daily, quadruple action fixed-dose combination of Rhopressa and Xalatan. Aerie’s shares have outperformed the industry in the last twelve months. However, Rhopressa faces stiff competition from established branded and generic pharmaceutical companies, such as Novartis’ Simbrinza and Travtan, and Allergan’s Lumigan, as well as other smaller biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Valeant Pharmaceutical’s Vyzulta is also approved for open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Rhopressa will face a tough time in gaining market share due to competition from these products. Any approval delays for Roclatan like Rhopressa will be detrimental to the company's growth prospects." (4/17/2018)
- 2. Mizuho analysts commented, "We hosted investor meetings with Aerie management on January 25. Key points that were discussed: 1) Recent capital raise; 2) Readiness for commercialization; and 3) 2018 guidance. We feel confident in management’s abilities with respect to commercial execution as well as maximization of shareholder value should a take-out happen." (1/29/2018)
