Evercore ISI downgraded SpringWorks Therapeutics (SWTX) to In Line from Outperform with a price target of $47, down from $65, after the company was “finally” agreed to be acquired by Merck KGaA (MKGAY) for $47 per share after nearly three months of “endless speculation.” The firm was anticipating an agreement in the $60s prior to last week’s headlines, which it believes “would have still been highly attractive for a buyer” and it calls the deal price “underwhelming to say the least.”
