What are Wall Street analysts saying about Rhythm Pharmaceuticals stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Rhythm Pharmaceuticals stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company. It focused on the development and commercialization of peptide therapeutics for the treatment of rare genetic deficiencies which result in life-threatening metabolic disorders. The Company's product candidate principally consists of setmelanotide, a potent, first-in-class melanocortin-4 receptor or MC4R, agonist for the treatment of rare genetic disorders of obesity. Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is based in Boston, MA. " (3/14/2019)
- 2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We update our model accordingly. Overall, our thesis remains unchanged and while we continue to model a high POS for setmelanotide as a treatment for rare genetic obesity disorders, we feel this is largely factored into the stock, and ultimately the lack of near-term catalysts and questions around the size of the commercial opportunity for POMC and LepR deficiency obesities keeps us on the sidelines for now. The company continues to make good progress in its setmelanotide Phase 3 programs and we think any incremental updates on the status of its TEMPO registry efforts to identify patients with genetic obesities, particularly ones which could be treated with setmelanotide, could prove to be positive catalysts if it looks like the prevalence of these disorders are greater than clinical epidemiology/literature has shown. We maintain our Hold rating and $36 target price." (11/11/2018)
