What are Wall Street analysts saying about Iovance Biotherapeutics stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Iovance Biotherapeutics stock:
- 1. Chardan Capital analysts commented, "We expect more visibility as Iovance plans to engage with the FDA in 2019 to define a regulatory path for LN-145 in 2nd-line cervical cancer, for which it recently received Fast Track Designation. We expect Iovance will be able to advance this program relatively quickly based on learnings from lifileucel. We expect to hear more on manufacturing and preclinical programs in 2019, as the company’s focus expands beyond the current phase II trials. Iovance is in the late stages of site selection for a manufacturing facility and expects to provide updates in 2Q19. To us, establishing an internal manufacturing facility will be a key step in commercial execution. Iovance is also planning to file an IND for peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in hematological malignancies in 2019. We understand this program uses a distinct and shorter manufacturing process." (2/28/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company. It focused on the development and commercialization of cancer immunotherapy products designed to harness the power of a patient's own immune system to eradicate cancer cells. Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc., formerly known as Lion Biotechnologies Inc., is based in SAN CARLOS, United States. " (1/15/2019)
- 3. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Valuation and impediments to achieving price target. We reiterate our Buy rating and price target of $26. Our target is based on our clinical net present value (NPV) model, which derives its primary value from LN-144 for metastatic melanoma currently. This model allows us to flex multiple assumptions affecting a drug’s potential commercial profile. Factors which could impede reaching our price target include failed or inconclusive clinical trials or inability of the company to secure adequate funding to progress its drugs through the development pathway."
