Joseph Stringer has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Ionis Pharmaceuticals’ strong financial performance and strategic partnerships. The company reported total revenues of $132 million, aligning closely with expectations, and exceeded consensus estimates in key areas such as Spinraza royalty revenue and Tryngolza’s first full launch quarter sales. Additionally, Ionis has raised its 2025 revenue guidance significantly, driven by lucrative licensing deals with Ono and Sobi, which are expected to bolster future earnings.
Despite a slight reduction in the price target to $55, reflecting an increased discount rate to align with market risks, the overall outlook remains positive. The strategic partnerships and robust revenue projections contribute to a favorable long-term growth trajectory, justifying the Buy rating. Stringer acknowledges these developments as pivotal in enhancing Ionis Pharmaceuticals’ market position and potential for shareholder value creation.
Stringer covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Alnylam Pharma, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, and Lexicon Pharmaceuticals. According to TipRanks, Stringer has an average return of -5.7% and a 35.00% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released today, TD Cowen also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $59.00 price target.
