What are Wall Street analysts saying about Cytokinetics stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Cytokinetics stock:
- 1. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Valuation and potential impediments to achieving it. We maintain our Buy rating and $21 price 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 (15.1% for SMA and 3.5% for ALS) with no contribution from the pipeline. We highlight that our projections for reldesemtiv in ALS could be considered quite conservative (10% chance of success for late Phase 2 asset and $750 million peak sales) but takes into consideration the underlying perceived risk for ALS. Our price target is based on our clinical net present value (NPV) model." (3/19/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cytokinetics is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class muscle activators as potential treatments for debilitating diseases in which muscle performance is compromised and/or deteriorating. With an unmatched understanding of muscle biology and mechanics of muscle performance, the company is developing small molecule drug candidates engineered to increase muscle function and contractility. Cytokinetics' lead drug candidate is tirasemtiv, a fast skeletal muscle activator, for the potential treatment of ALS. Tirasemtiv has been granted orphan drug designation and fast track status by the FDA and orphan medicinal product designation by the EMA. Cytokinetics is collaborating with Amgen Inc. to develop omecamtiv mecarbil, a novel cardiac muscle activator, for the potential treatment of heart failure, and with Astellas Pharma Inc. to develop CK-2127107, a fast skeletal muscle activator, for the potential treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. " (2/26/2019)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We have an Overweight rating based on ome’ in chronic HF and relde’ in SMA & ALS. For ome’, GALACTIC-HF data are expected in 2021, with interim reads in ’19 (futility) and ’20 (efficacy) that may lead to milestone payments to CYTK. Recent relde’ P2 data in SMA showed clinical benefit in 6MWD & MEP which enhances PoS in Type III SMA in our view. With VITALITY-ALS lessons learned & SMA PoC in hand, we are cautiously optimistic on relde’ prospects and believe investors may be overlooking potential value creation within the next 12 months."
