What are Wall Street analysts saying about Intercept Pharmaceuticals stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Intercept Pharmaceuticals stock:
- 1. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We are reiterating our Hold rating on ICPT after the company reported a slight 2Q19 beat on Ocaliva revenues, which appear to have been aided by a benefit in channel inventories. With that said, our thesis remains unchanged and we think there are too many unknown variables in terms of OCA’s potential adcom/approval and launch in NASH for us to be comfortable recommending the stock here. Management remains on track to file its NDA for OCA in NASH by the end of this quarter followed by its MAA filing in the EU in 4Q19. We think investor focus remains on the potential for OCA in NASH and in particular: whether or not ICPT’s filing of a NDA for OCA in NASH (rather than a sNDA) can lead to bi- furcated/indication based pricing, potential payer/reimbursement dynamics in the NASH category and the use of non-invasive biomarkers vs. biopsy for diagnosis." (8/12/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Intercept’s lead drug Ocaliva’s performance has been strong in the year so far. Management’s efforts to increase awareness about the label update of Ocaliva in 2018 and expand sales force across the United States, thereafter, are reaping results. Solid growth in new patient enrollment is likely to drive sales in 2019. Meanwhile, Intercept is working to expand the drug’s label in the promising NASH space. While the failure of Gilead Sciences’ late-stage study on selonsertib, involving patients afflicted with compensated cirrhosis (F4) due to NASH puts Intercept ahead in the race, the additional results from the REGENERATE study for NASH were mixed and did not impress investors. However, the company’s dependence on a single product for growth is a concern. Shares have underperformed the industry in the year so far." (7/15/2019)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ". We reiterate our Overweight rating and $170 PT. Positive Ph3 data on fibrosis de-risk this binary readout. Intercept announced this morning that the 25mg dose hit on one of the key endpoints, which is a one point change in fibrosis stage (OCA 23.1%, placebo 11.9%, p-value=0.0002). They saw a numerical trend on NASH resolution in the 25mg. Although this endpoint did not hit (25mg p-value=0.1268), we believe that the data profile for OCA will support approval; fibrosis is relevant for potential liver outcomes. Since there was a p-value of 0.0013 when F1 co-morbidities were added, we are interested to see more analysis around NASH resolution." (2/19/2019)
