Lipocine assumed with a Buy at H.C. Wainwright

H.C. Wainwright analyst Yi Chen assumed coverage of Lipocine (LPCN) with a Buy rating and $8 price target Lipocine’s first commercialized product, Tlando, an oral treatment indicated for testosterone replacement therapy, was approved by the FDA in 2022 and its current lead pipeline candidate is LPCN 1154, which is a rapid onset, oral formulation of the neuroactive steroid brexanolone for the treatment of postpartum depression, the analyst tells investors. If successfully developed, LPCN 1154 could “bring significant value to the company,” says the analyst, who notes that the firm’s current valuation is primarily based on market prospects for LPCN 1154.
