• 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "Expensive 1Q: HRTX reported 1Q17 EPS of ($1.00), below our estimated ($0.83). The difference is mainly attributed to higher than expected R&D spend, though we believe that should taper off through the year, providing some flexibility in cash runway. HRTX finished the quarter with $165M in cash." (5/11/2017)
• 4. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We initiate coverage of Heron Therapeutics, a commercial-stage specialty biopharma focused on novel extended-release injectables, at Buy with a $28 PT. HRTX made the transition to a commercial co. in 4Q16 with the launch of Sustol for CINV. Cinvanti, on file with FDA (likely 4Q17 PDUFA), will round out the CINV franchise. The main value driver, HTX-011, is an extended-release combination of bupivacaine/meloxicam in development for post-op pain management. HTX-011 successfully completed a comprehensive ph 2 program in various surgical procedures demonstrating superior efficacy to placebo and bupivacaine. HTX-011 will begin ph 3 development in 2017. Our valuation looks at the differentiated CINV assets and cash balance (~$215MM) as a floor value for HRTX, while the potential of HTX-011 remains mostly undervalued." (2/27/2017)
