Akebia, FibroGen initiated at Morgan Stanley

Akebia resumed with an Equal Weight at Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley analyst David Lebowitz resumed coverage of Akebia (AKBA) with an Equal Weight rating and $9 price target, stating that value is primarily driven by the potential of vadadustat as a treatment for anemia associated with chronic kidney disease. Vadadustat is a year behind FibroGen’s (FGEN) competing HIF-inhibitor roxadustat and that lead could be an advantage if the data for the two drugs is not sufficiently differentiated, said Lebowitz.
