• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "4Q16 revenues came in well below expectations (-11% vs. consensus). With Rayaldee off to a slow start & no visibility into the timing of reimbursement from Novitas for 4Kscore (two of OPK's only/most important new growth drivers), we see few NT catalysts for the stock & further downside risk to consensus forecasts. Expect shares to open lower on the 4Q rev miss & recalibrated NT expectations for Rayaldee & 4Kscore. PT to $8 (from $10)." (3/2/2017)
