Truist initiated coverage of Alkermes (ALKS) with a Buy rating and $50 price target. The firm values the base business and cash at about $29 per share, which it sees “setting a high floor” heading into Phase 2 Vibrance-2 data in narcolepsy type 2. Narcolepsy type 1 alone is worth $8 per share in the firm’s sum-of-the-parts valuation, while NT2 and idiopathic hypersomnia contribute $8 per share and $5 per share, respectively, the analyst tells investors. Alkermes “doubling down” in sleep space with the acquisition of Avadel (AVDL) is a strategic move that gives it a first-mover advantage over Takeda (TAK), the analyst added.
