- 2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We reiterate our Buy rating and $30 target price. All relevant disclosures and certifications appear on pages 3 – 5 of this report. Stifel does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports. As a result, investors should be aware that the firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors should consider this report as only a single factor in making their investment decision.Investment Thesis We believe Vanda’s current valuation is an attractive entry point for investors, given its accelerating base business and relatively de-risked, late-stage pipeline that we believe is under-appreciated." (10/31/2018)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We are Neutral on VNDA with a 12-month PT of $26. HETLIOZ is delivering consistent growth in non-24, approaching the $100M threshold in net revs, which we view as an inflection point in broadening institutional interest. However, our Neutral rating results from the lack of visibility on the tradipitant P3 program for neuropathic itch (i.e., pruritus) in atopic dermatitis and meaningful pipeline-driven growth. Although we believe that the program has an increased PoS resulting from a P3 design well-informed by P2 data, in our view, enhanced clarity on timelines is needed to become more constructive."
