- 2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We believe shares of VNDA should find some relief after the recent volatility (shares down -26% since 2/5 vs. S&P 500 which is up +1%) which has largely been driven by the news of the partial clinical hold (PCH) on tradipitant and the unsealed whistleblower lawsuit, but also the fact VNDA didn’t issue preliminary results at the JP Morgan conference in January which it had normally done in years past. We think the 4Q results and 2019 guidance should get investors more comfortable that VNDA’s base business (Hetlioz and Fanapt) continues to be generally healthy with a decent growth profile." (2/14/2019)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ". We reiterate our Neutral rating and reduce our PT to $26 from $30 for VNDA based on lowered 2019 revenue projections. On Wednesday, Vanda reported 4Q18 revenues of $32.4M for HETLIOZ and $20.6M for Fanapt, which were in line with our estimates. Vanda ended 4Q18 with cash of ~$257M, sufficient to fund operations through clinical milestones such as the first P3 study of tradi’ in atopic dermatitis. Although we project YoY growth for HETLIOZ in 2019, we do not view it as a source of underappreciated value. However if label expansion into SMS is achieved (pending FDA input on capital efficient next steps), this could prove to be a tractable, growth driving opportunity." (2/14/2019)
