Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Intercept Pharmaceuticals stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Intercept’s second-quarter results were encouraging as Ocailva sales started to recover with the drug achieving the highest level of prescriptions since launch. The company posted a narrower-than-expected loss in the second quarter while sales beat estimates. The company reiterated its previously provided guidance. Sales had earlier taken a hit due to the safety issues regarding Ocaliva. Nevertheless, management’s efforts to increase awareness about the updated level and promote Ocaliva, thereafter, is reaping results. Moreover, the company is looking to expand the drug’s label in the promising NASH space. The label expansion of the drug will boost the growth prospects. Moreover, the NASH market represents huge potential and a tentative approval will boost Ocaliva’s prospects. Shares have outperformed the industry in the year so far." (8/7/2018)
- 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Intercept reported $34.5M in U.S. Ocaliva sales (+21% q/q; +24% y/y), slightly above our $34.0M and consensus $32M ests. WW sales were $43.2M, above our $43.0M and consensus $41M ests. Sales growth driven primarily by increased volume w/ early adopter prescriber base. Company expects some weakness in 3Q18 (summer), but reiterated 2018 WW sales guidance of $170-$185M. Phase 3 NASH timelines are unch, w/ REGENERATE trial results still expected 1H19. We are biased towards a positive outcome. Maintain HOLD given key milestone is in 2019." (8/2/2018)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "PBC – Despite headwinds associated with labeling harmonization for Ocaliva and widened gross-to-net impact expected for the earlier portion of the year, scripts for the drug have been reported to have stabilized. We believe efforts towards educating and creating confidence for prescribing physicians may have stemmed the tide and signal the return to revenue growth. While our long-term projections remain conservative (20% at peak), continued execution in the remainder of 2018 could build our confidence and expand opportunity for the shares. That said, we remain cautious on NASH." (5/8/2018)
