Its goal is to file one new investigative new drug application in a significant indication each year.

- 2. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "Valuation and impediments to achieving price target. We reiterate our Buy rating and $7.50 price target. Our target is based on our clinical net present value (NPV) model, which derives its value from Tavalisse without any current contribution from pipeline assets. This model allows us to flex multiple assumptions affecting a drug’s potential commercial profile. Factors which could impede reaching our price target include failed or inconclusive clinical trials or inability of the company to secure adequate funding to progress its drugs through the development pathway." (8/9/2018)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ": We are reiterating our Overweight rating on Rigel Pharmaceuticals and our 12-month price target of $9 per share, following Rigel’s 2Q18 financial results call. Rigel hosted a conference call and provided an update on its initial commercial launch of TAVALISSE (fostamatinib) in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), which began at the end of May 2018. On the call, Rigel announced additional details on the commercial launch, including positive feedback from prescribing physicians and anecdotal evidence of TAVALISSE’s benefit for patients. We are encouraged by the strong positive uptake within just a month of commercial availability of the product and have adjusted our model for the quarter." (8/8/2018)
