Jeet Mukherjee has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Palvella Therapeutics’ promising potential in the biopharmaceutical sector. The company is advancing its QTORIN topical delivery platform to treat rare skin diseases that currently lack FDA-approved therapies. With upcoming Phase 2 and Phase 3 trial readouts for their lead asset, QTORIN rapamycin, targeting cutaneous venous malformations and microcystic lymphatic malformations, Palvella is positioned for significant milestones that could attract interest from larger pharmaceutical companies.
Moreover, the company’s focus on microcystic lymphatic malformations, a condition affecting approximately 30,000 patients in the US, presents a substantial market opportunity with a total addressable market of $3-5 billion. The QTORIN rapamycin gel aims to provide a safer alternative to systemic treatments by reducing toxicities while maintaining efficacy. Additionally, Palvella’s pipeline potential extends beyond these indications, with plans to explore further applications of the QTORIN platform, potentially leading to blockbuster sales. Despite some concerns about valuation, the projected peak sales and strategic positioning make PVLA shares attractive for long-term growth.
