What are Wall Street analysts saying about Momenta Pharmaceuticals stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Momenta Pharmaceuticals stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Momenta’s fourth-quarter results were better than expected. Last year was a transformational one for Momenta as it undertook a strategic review with the goal to shift focus from its dual focus on novel drugs and biosimilars to the discovery and development of novel drugs to treat rare, immune-mediated disorders. Momenta will now advance only two late-stage biosimilar assets, M923, its wholly-owned proposed biosimilar to Humira, and M710, its proposed biosimilar to Eylea. Earlier, the FDA approval of Glatopa 40 mg relieved Momenta, but competition was stiff as Mylan had already won the FDA’s approval for a generic version of Teva Pharmaceuticals’ Copaxone 40 mg, thereby limiting gains. Hence, cost savings from the restructuring plan should enable Momenta to develop novel drug candidates. We expect investors to focus on further updates from the candidate in development as the year progresses." (3/5/2019)
- 2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We remain positive on the stock as we believe very little is currently being priced in for MNTA’s M281 program, which we view as mechanistically de-risked and, based on our prior research into the CK/albumin controversies, to be safe. With the first set of proof-of-concept (POC) data expected in 1H-to-mid-2020 for M254 and M281, we believe the stock should begin to work in anticipation of these results and think shares could inflect to ~$40, if they are positive. 2 study in myasthenia gravis (MG) is underway, with results expected in mid-2020. MNTA’s CEO indicated he had just returned from initiating a site for the Phase 2 trial for M281 in MG and, while he acknowledged the heightened competition for MG patients given the increased clinical activity in the space – i.e." (2/22/2019)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ". Post 4Q18, we reiterate our Neutral rating and our 12-month price target of $16. We view the company’s novel pipeline as potentially blockbuster, although safety concerns raised over the Phase 1 data and a lack of any significant catalysts in 2019 keep us on the sidelines. We could be more constructive on MNTA stock if the company is able to advance its early-stage, novel drugs and show positive efficacy and safety data. We believe the concerns around M281 Phase 1 creatine kinase (CK) and albumin data may turn out to be overdone; however, we would like to see more data on this before moving off the sidelines."
