What are Wall Street analysts saying about Principia Biopharma stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Principia Biopharma stock:
- 1. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We are reiterating our Buy rating and $45 target price after PRNB reported its 2Q19 financial and business update. We remain bullish ahead of what we view as a catalyst-rich 4Q19, with readouts expected for PRN1008 in both pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP). We continue to think PRNB’s nuanced medicinal chemistry platform is under appreciated by the Street and, in our view, PRNB has developed a BTK inhibitor, PRN1008, with an improved safety profile allowing for use in autoimmune conditions which is something that has hindered previous BTKi’s. We believe PRN1008’s data generated to date, already suggest an improved safety profile and we think further proof-of-concept data in its two beachhead indications (PV and ITP) in 4Q19 should drive shares meaingfully higher." (8/11/2019)
- 2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Valuation and risks to price target achievement. We reiterate our Buy rating and $55 price target. Our current valuation is based on the PRN1008 opportunity in PV (86%) followed by incremental contribution from ITP (7%), PRN2246 for MS (5%), and PRN1371 for bladder cancer (2%). In PV, we project a 2022 and 2023 launch in the U.S. and E.U., based on a 50% projected chance of success and $1.0 billion and $570 million in peak sales, respectively. For ITP, we only model the U.S." (7/30/2019)
