Joseph Pantginis has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight the promising potential of Cytokinetics’ aficamten. The recent presentations at the 2025 Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Society and American Heart Association Scientific Sessions showcased aficamten’s significant benefits, particularly in improving patient-reported outcomes. These improvements in quality of life metrics, as demonstrated in trials like SEQUOIA-HCM and FOREST-HCM, underscore the drug’s effectiveness.
Furthermore, the data presented included robust biomarker analyses and responder studies, which further validate aficamten’s therapeutic impact. The anticipation of U.S. approval next month and the upcoming ACACIA-HCM readout, which could establish aficamten as a first-in-class treatment, also contribute to Pantginis’s optimistic outlook. These factors collectively support the potential for strong commercial uptake, justifying the Buy rating.
