Thomas Smith has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Immunovant’s promising pipeline and strategic focus. The company has reported positive long-term follow-up results for batoclimab in Graves’ disease, with a significant response rate in normalizing thyroid levels without increased anti-thyroid drugs. This success is expected to be further validated by upcoming 6-month remission data, which could enhance the prospects for their lead asset, IMVT-1402, across multiple autoimmune indications.
Additionally, Immunovant is progressing with clinical trials for IMVT-1402 in various conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and myasthenia gravis, with key readouts anticipated in the coming years. The strategic execution and potential first-in-class opportunities in their FcRn franchise are seen as underappreciated, suggesting a favorable outlook for the company’s stock. The focus on unlocking value through clinical advancements supports the Buy rating, as upcoming data releases could significantly impact the company’s valuation.
According to TipRanks, Smith is a top 100 analyst with an average return of 43.3% and a 54.21% success rate. Smith covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Aclaris Therapeutics, and Eledon Pharmaceuticals.
In another report released on August 12, H.C. Wainwright also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $35.00 price target.
