- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ": We are reiterating our OW rating on Apellis and lowering our 12-month price target to $52 from $57. This morning, Apellis issued a press release highlighting financial and corporate updates for the period ended on 3/31. Our decrease in price target is based off an increased share count, due to the recent March 2019 financing, and an increase to R&D and SG&A projections. With Phase 3 PEGASUS (PNH) enrollment expected to complete by the end of 2Q19, we believe APLS shares represent a strong buying opportunity, ahead of a potential 4Q19 data readout.
