H.C. Wainwright analyst Matthew Caufield reiterated a Buy rating on Aldeyra Therapeutics (ALDX – Research Report) today and set a price target of $10.00.
Matthew Caufield’s rating is based on the recent positive developments surrounding Aldeyra Therapeutics’ lead candidate, Reproxalap. The drug has shown significant efficacy in addressing ocular discomfort in dry eye disease (DED) patients during a Phase 3 chamber trial, achieving a statistically significant improvement in symptoms. This positions Reproxalap as a potentially rapid-acting treatment option, which could be advantageous over existing therapies that require longer periods to show benefits.
Additionally, the potential collaboration with AbbVie for the development and commercialization of Reproxalap in the US market adds further value. The ongoing option agreement with AbbVie, which could be executed before the drug’s approval, underscores the strategic importance of this partnership. Furthermore, Aldeyra’s broader RASP pipeline, which includes several promising candidates in various stages of development, provides additional growth opportunities and diversification, reinforcing the Buy rating.
