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 reported mixed results for the fourth quarter of 2019, as the loss came in wider than expected, while sales surpassed expectations. The volumes picked up in the last two months of 2019. Aerie has an impressive portfolio of two ophthalmology drugs — Rhopressa and Rocklatan. Rhopressa is a once-daily formulation for IOP in patients suffering from open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, while Rocklatan is a once-daily, quadruple-action, fixed-dose combination of Rhopressa and Xalatan. Aerie also obtained the approval of Rhokiinsa in Europe. Approval in additional geographies will boost sales. Glaucoma is one of the largest segments in the ophthalmic market. While the targeted market represents potential, Aerie faces stiff competition from Lumigan and Vyzulta, among others. Shares have underperformed the industry in the past year." (2/24/2020)
2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We recently lowered our 2019 revenue to just under $80M vs. prior guidance of $110-120M, and Aeri just lowered to $70-80M. While this looks far below consensus of $98M, we believe current expectation were more in the $85M range, thus guidance is not too far below that. Importantly, we believe the guidance is very achievable, and based only on what the company is already seeing internally in terms of orders, leading indicators and managed care progress, rather than on aggressive market-research based assumptions."
