Yanan Zhu has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Sarepta Therapeutics’ strong performance and potential for future growth. The company’s recent quarterly results exceeded expectations, with earnings per share significantly surpassing consensus estimates, indicating robust financial health. Additionally, Sarepta’s cash position is strong, and the company is taking steps to further enhance its liquidity by improving operational efficiency and adjusting manufacturing commitments.
Another key factor in Zhu’s positive outlook is the resumption of ELEVIDYS shipments for ambulatory patients, following the FDA’s recommendation to lift the voluntary pause. This development, along with ongoing discussions with the FDA regarding safety labeling and risk mitigation, suggests a favorable regulatory environment. Moreover, Sarepta’s pipeline of partnered siRNA programs is progressing well, with ongoing studies and anticipated data releases that could provide additional upside. These elements collectively reinforce Zhu’s confidence in the company’s resilience and growth prospects.
In another report released on July 29, Oppenheimer also upgraded the stock to a Buy with a $37.00 price target.
