What are Wall Street analysts saying about Aerie Pharmaceuticals stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Aerie Pharmaceuticals stock:
- 1. Mizuho analysts commented, "We note that one or two weeks of data can have a meaningful impact on our total 2018 projections and we used what we believe are conservative assumptions. We believe there could be upside to our current estimate and we believe the risk of Aerie not delivering on its 2018 sales guidance of $20-30 mil is low." (11/27/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "The FDA approval of Aerie’s lead drug, Rhopressa is a significant boost for the company. The solid uptake in prescription volumes post launch should propel sales as glaucoma is one of the largest segments in the global ophthalmic market. Aerie is also evaluating Roclatan, a once-daily, quadruple action fixed-dose combination of Rhopressa and Xalatan. Aerie recently submitted its NDA for Roclatan to the FDA and expects a review period of ten months. A tentative approval will boost the growth prospects. However, Rhopressa faces stiff competition from established branded and generic pharmaceutical companies, such as Novartis’ Simbrinza and Travtan, and Allergan’s Lumigan and Vyzulta among others. Hence, Rhopressa will face a tough time in gaining market share due to competition from these products. Shares have underperformed the industry in the year so far." (10/10/2018)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We rate Aerie Pharmaceuticals Overweight. AERI commercializes and develops once- daily eye drops Rhopressa and Roclatan, respectively, for glaucoma. Rhopressa is the first novel drug in a market that has not seen innovation in 20 years. Valuation Summary We value Aerie based on the NPV of the cash flows associated with its glaucoma drug candidates. Our price target is $86/share." (10/2/2018)
- 4. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We hosted Aerie CFO a fireside chat this afternoon at the Canaccord Genuity Growth Conference. Aerie is an ophthalmology company that recently launched Rhopressa, the first new class of glaucoma drugs in over twenty years. In addition to Rhopressa, Aerie plans to commercialize Roclatan, a combination of Rhopressa and latanoprost, the leading glaucoma therapy in the US market. Beyond glaucoma, Aerie is exploring the use of ROCK inhibitors in back-of-the-eye conditions like wet AMD and could explore opportunities to utilize ROCK inhibitors outside of ophthalmology. Rhopressa tracking well with strong user feedback. Launched earlier this year, Rhopressa is already gaining traction with ophthalmologists and patients, and Aerie is pleased with the current uptake trajectory." (8/10/2018)
