What are Wall Street analysts saying about Kalvista Pharmaceuticals stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Kalvista Pharmaceuticals stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a pharmaceuticals company. It engages in discovery, development and commercialization of small molecule protease inhibitors for diseases with significant unmet need. Its product portfolio consist hereditary angioedema and diabetic macular edema, KVD818 and KVD001, which are in clinical stage. KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly known as Carbylan Therapeutics, Inc., is headquartered in Cambridge, United States. " (9/20/2018)
- 2. BTIG Research analysts commented, "Another Beat-and-Raise; Reiterate Buy and $260 PT TMO kicked off 2018 on a strong note, with 7% organic revenue growth (against 4% growth in 1Q17) and 20% EPS growth (upside from guidance largely driven by higher organic growth, and less so from more favorable FX), handily beating consensus expectations. Full year guidance was raised: 1) on the top, to reflect (roughly in equal parts of) better organic revenue growth (5% from 4-5% prior), greater Patheon acquisition contribution, and more favorable FX; and 2) on the bottom, stronger 1Q operational performance and more favorable FX, partially offset by small dilution from a recent bolt-on. Strong performance was broad-based, although standouts in the quarter include the biopharma customer segment (+10% y/y), China (high-teens growth), and Analytical Instruments (+13% organic growth; strength across FEI, chromatography / MS, chemical analysis). While TMO has a strong financial performance track record, we think the company is currently better positioned than ever to capitalize on a relatively strong end market environment (e.g., biopharma, industrial) and take market share to drive top line growth, continue to execute on operational efficiency (e.g., Patheon acquisition synergy targets tracking ahead of expectations), and maximize capital deployment opportunities (3.8x leverage ratio at quarter-end vs. 3.75x estimated year-end average; ~$500mm share buyback targeted for 2H; active M&A pipeline; rising interest rates already factored into longer-term forecasts and strategic planning). Our PT gets valuation closer to the peer average on a forward P/E basis." (4/29/2018)
