Joseph Schwartz has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Ascendis Pharma’s strong market performance and potential. The company has demonstrated a successful launch of Yorvipath in both the US and EU markets, with sales figures surpassing expectations significantly. This strong financial performance suggests a lucrative opportunity in the hypoparathyroidism market.
Additionally, while there is potential competition from MBX’s canvuparatide, the differences in trial designs and endpoints make direct efficacy comparisons challenging. However, the market seems optimistic about Ascendis Pharma’s position, as reflected in the modest share price increase despite exceeding sales estimates. The potential for significant market cap fluctuations based on upcoming data further underscores the stock’s attractiveness, leading to Schwartz’s Buy recommendation.
ASND’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $127.490 to $170.140, which is a 33.45% increase.
