Analyst Sam Slutsky of LifeSci Capital maintained a Buy rating on Immunovant (IMVT – Research Report), retaining the price target of $50.00.
Sam Slutsky has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Immunovant’s strategic advancements and promising developments. The company has recently announced two new indications for their IMVT-1402 therapy, targeting Sjögren’s disease and cutaneous lupus erythematosus, which are expected to enhance their pipeline and potentially offer best-in-class treatment options. The initiation of a potentially registrational program for Sjögren’s disease in the summer of 2025 and a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial for cutaneous lupus erythematosus demonstrates Immunovant’s commitment to advancing their clinical programs.
Additionally, the company has made significant management changes with the appointment of a new CEO and CFO, which could bring fresh perspectives and strategies to the table. Immunovant’s focus on six key indications, rather than spreading resources too thinly across ten, indicates a more targeted approach that could lead to more efficient development and potential market success. These strategic decisions, along with the cleared IND for Sjögren’s disease and the initiation of trials, underpin Slutsky’s positive outlook and Buy recommendation for Immunovant’s stock.
In another report released on April 16, Citi also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $58.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 70 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of IMVT in relation to earlier this year.
