What are Wall Street analysts saying about Spark Therapeutics stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Spark Therapeutics stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Spark Therapeutics, Inc. offers gene therapy. The Company's product candidate consist of SPK-RPE65, SPK-CHM, SPK-FIX which are in different clinical phases, for the treatment of additional blinding conditions, hematologic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Spark Therapeutics, Inc. is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. " (1/9/2019)
- 2. JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts commented, "ONCE’s 3Q print encouragingly showed in line Luxturna sales of ~$9M, although a resetting of expectations around the SPK-8011 update at ASH overshadowed launch progress. Given the historical focus on FVIII levels, we aren’t surprised to see disappointment about the news that there will be no biomarker data for the high dose cohort at ASH (there will be clinical outcome data). Indeed, for some time we’ve gotten the sense that at least some investors may wait to see additional SPK-8011 FVIII activity data before re-engaging. That said, today’s update doesn’t fundamentally change the fact that ONCE continues to be a leader in the gene therapy space, with an active early-stage pipeline (2 new programs entering clinic in late- 2018/2019) and an update on SPK-7001 expected by YE18. Maintain Neutral." (11/7/2018)
- 3. Raymond James analysts commented, "We are maintaining our Outperform rating for shares of ONCE. This morning the E.U.’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion recommending the approval of LUXTURNA for the treatment of vision loss due to inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) caused by mutations in the retinal pigment epithelium- specific 65 kDa (RPE65) gene. Along with robust data from the company’s Phase III study that demonstrated safety, efficacy, and durability of response for up to three years, the company awaits a marketing authorization from the European Commission within two months to become the first gene therapy for a genetic disease approved in both the U.S. and E.U. With U.S." (9/21/2018)
- 4. Mizuho analysts commented, "We further think it is pre-mature to draw the conclusion that SPK-8011 is inferior to the competing product from BioMarin (BMRN, non-rated). We reduce our PT from $91 to $77 after removing the M&A premium of our valuation per revised valuation methodology and we maintain our revenue forecasts." (8/8/2018)
- 5. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ": We reiterate our Overweight rating and 12-month PT of $103 on 2Q18 financial results and program updates. During the call, Spark announced additional updates from the Phase 1/2 trial of SPK-8011 in hemophilia A. While the occurrence of two immune responses leading to inadequate FVIII activity level add challenges for the program, we believe the company is well equipped to address them as the program moves to late-stage development."
