What are Wall Street analysts saying about Madrigal Pharmaceuticals stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Madrigal Pharmaceuticals stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is engaged in developing small-molecule drugs addressing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Its products pipeline include MGL-3196, an orally administered liver-directed thyroid hormone receptor-ß agonist that is used for the treatment of NASH, dyslipidemia/hypercholesterolemia and high triglycerides; and MGL-3745, a thyroid hormone receptor-ß agonist which are in pre-clinical trial stage. Madrigal Pharmaceuticals Inc., formerly known as Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp., is based in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. " (3/4/2020)
2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We are confident that the MAESTRO-NASH trial is well-managed: it is conducted by PRA Health Sciences (private), a top CRO that was awarded the 2019 CRO a top drawer group of clinical site investigators including principal investigator Dr. Antonio, TX. Importantly, MAESTRO-NASH’s 52-week treatment period was selected in order to optimize patient compliance and the repeat biopsy rate, as both drop off considerably in trials that last more than one year." (7/3/2019)
3. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We believe resmetirom’s Phase 2b data are encouraging on NASH resolution and emerging evidence continues to point to the possibility resmetirom could demonstrate a benefit on fibrosis over time. We are positively biased heading into Phase 3 however; we see few company specific catalysts to drive shares upward in the next ~12-18 months and think the stock could be volatile around updates from competitors (i.e. VKTX, GNFT, etc.) – this leads to our Hold rating. Ultimately, we feel MDGL will largely remain range bound before it reports Phase 3, 52-week data in 2H21 and based on our diligence for our NASH white paper (link here), we suspect any strategic acquirer would want to confirm resmetirom’s safety/efficacy profile and gain some commercial validation for the NASH category, as a whole, before paying a large price tag for MDGL. So a near-term takeout is unlikely, in our view." (6/24/2019)
