What are Wall Street analysts saying about Epizyme stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Epizyme stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Epizyme's efforts on developing its lead candidate, tazemetostat, for a number of hematological malignancies and genetically defined solid tumors are impressive. However, the company suffered a setback when the FDA imposed a partial clinical hold on new enrollment of U.S. patients in the ongoing trials for tazemetostat. The company’s attention now is squarely focused on a set of actions intended to address the partial clinical hold.The company is assessing its timeline for submitting a new drug application to the FDA for tazemetostat regarding follicular lymphoma. The company plans to file a first new drug application for tazemetostat with respect to epithelioid sarcoma in the fourth quarter of 2018. A potential approval for the candidate will be a significant boost to the company. Shares of the company have outperformed the industry in the year so far. However, the company is highly dependent on its collaboration partners for growth." (7/10/2018)
- 2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Valuation and risks. Our price target of $25 on Epizyme is based on a probability-adjusted sum-of-parts NPV-DCF: $21 EZH2 (NHL + INI-) + $1 DOT1L (MLL-R) + $3 cash. Risks to our investment thesis and target price include: (1) failure in clinical trials; (2) failure to secure regulatory approvals; and (3) a smaller- than-anticipated commercial opportunity due to market sizing, competition, and pricing. Epizyme, Inc." (6/27/2018)
- 3. Cann analysts commented, "Epizyme presented two posters at the American Society of Hematology Meeting on December 10-11, 2017. These included a biomarker study in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and preliminary response data from the diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cohort from the ongoing phase II study of tazemetostat in NHL. The data presented is very supportive of our outlook." (12/12/2017)
