" (5/14/2019)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ". We reiterate our OW rating and 12-month and raise our price target from $10 to $14 per share of CYTK primarily driven by increased visibility on the omecamtiv (ome’) programs with the initiation of the P3 METEORIC-HF study and removal of the FORTITUDE-ALS overhang. On Thursday AMC Cytokinetics reported 1Q19 revenue of $8.5M & cash of $177M. Our model projects current cash provides two years of runaway (through 2020), which should include readout of the METEORIC-HF studies." (5/10/2019)
- 3. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Valuation and potential impediments to achieving it. We reiterate our Buy rating and $26 target. We highlight that omecamtiv, partnered globally with Amgen, drives the lion’s share of our current valuation (>80%). Reldesemtiv (CK-107) represents the remainder of the contribution to our valuation (10.2% for SMA and 6.3% for ALS) with no contribution from the pipeline, especially CK-274, which is now clinical stage. Our price target is based on our clinical net present value (NPV) model." (5/6/2019)
