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’ earnings and sales beat estimates in the fourth quarter of 2018. With the increasing traction of Aristada in the market, the company continues to emerge as a leader in the treatment of schizophrenia. The company released positive results of the ALKS 3831 ENLIGHTEN-2 pivotal study. This year will be an important one for the company’s late-stage pipeline highlighted by the planned submission of the NDA for ALKS 3831 and the regulatory review of the recently submitted NDA for diroximel fumarate for multiple sclerosis, with action expected in the fourth quarter. The company also expects to have release data from ALKS 4230's anti-tumor response study in 2019. However, Alkermes is highly dependent on manufacturing and/or royalty revenues. Shares have outperformed the industry in the last three months." (4/8/2019)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ": We reiterate the Neutral rating for ALKS stock and are reducing our PT by $5 to $41. We believe the FDA advisory panel view of the ALKS-5461 NDA is a major setback not only for the drug but also to the ability of ALKS to convince investors that the company can develop proprietary therapies of meaningful commercial potential."
