During the quarter, Rigel reported sales of $8.1 million for TAVALISSE for the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), which was a slight beat vs. our $7.7 million estimate. Our near-term focus for Rigel will remain on quarterly U.S. sales for TAVALISSE. Additionally, we await an EU approval decision by year-end 2019, which could expand the revenue opportunity for Rigel and provide upfront capital of nearly $40 million from Grifols (GRFS – NC)."

- 3. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Valuation and impediments to achieving price target. We reiterate our Buy rating though are increasing our price target to $8 from $7.50. The primary drivers to our price target change include: (1) adjustment to base year; and (2) adjustment to fully diluted share count. Our valuation is currently driven wholly by fostamatinib (Tavalisse) with 77% contribution from our U.S. and E.U. projections for cIPT and 23% contribution from our U.S. and E.U. projections for AIHA."
