Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Louise Chen sees no fundamental reason for the 12% pullback yesterday in shares of Evolus (EOLS). The stock weakness was partly attributed to the “upbeat and well-attended” investor day held by competitor Allergan (AGN) last Friday, Chen tells investors in a research note. The analyst points out that shares of Revance (RVNC), which also competes with Allergan in the botulinum toxin space, dropped yesterday as well. Chen believes Allergan’s investor day renewed concerns that the company is and will remain the leading botulinum toxin/aesthetics player in the space. However, this is nothing new and is already priced into Evolus’ valuation, Chen contends. The analyst continues to expect the company’s launch of DWP-450 in spring 2019 to exceed “modest expectations.” She keeps an Overweight rating on the shares with a $35 price target.
