Joseph Pantginis has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including XOMA’s strategic expansion of its royalty opportunity for mezagitamab. By acquiring BioInvent’s stake, XOMA has increased its potential royalty rate from 4% to an estimated 5.5%, which enhances the company’s future revenue prospects.
Pantginis also highlights mezagitamab’s differentiated mechanism of action as a key factor in its potential commercial success. This anti-CD38 antibody could address significant unmet needs in conditions like immune thrombocytopenia and IgA Nephropathy, offering a disease-modifying approach that may capture strong market share. The promising Phase 1 data further supports its potential impact, making it a valuable asset in XOMA’s portfolio.
In another report released on May 15, Leerink Partners also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $55.00 price target.
