What are Wall Street analysts saying about Alkermes stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Alkermes stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Alkermes' Vivitrol and Aristada continue to drive growth for the company. The company also reiterated its guidance. primary growth drivers. 2018 is expected to be a transformative year for Alkermes’ development pipeline, with key events being the phase III data readout for ALKS 3831 in schizophrenia, submission of BIIB098 (ALKS 8700) NDA and phase I data read-out for ALKS 4230. Regulatory review is underway for ALKS 5461 being evaluated for major depressive disorder. In July 2018, FDA approved a label expansion of Aristada- Aristada Initio which in combination with a single 30 milligram dose of oral aripiprazole, is designed to enable initiation of Aristada on day one and replaces the need for 21 days of oral supplementation. However, Alkermes is highly dependent on manufacturing and/or royalty revenue. Share price of Alkermes have outperformed industry in past one month. Earnings estimates have increased ahead of Q3 earnings release." (10/10/2018)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "FDA response looks like someone may not have been listening. The nature of the FDA response to ALKS stands in stark contrast to a comment by the CEO on the 2Q17 results conference call, Earlier this week, we passed a major milestone with the outcome of our pre-NDA meeting with the FDA, which resulted in an agreement on our NDA submission content and timing." We generally take with a grain of salt any management comments that FDA meetings went well" or were productive" but we believe investors may have been led to believe that the FDA viewed the ALKS 5461 data as potentially adequate for approval. That the FDA evidently has asked for additional clinical studies strongly calls into question such an assumption, in our opinion." (4/2/2018)
