Nektar price target lowered to $47 from $54 at H.C. Wainwright

H.C. Wainwright analyst Debjit Chattopadhyay lowered his price target for Nektar Therapeuticsless than (NKTR) to $47 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. While the Phase 3 trial of Opdivo plus NKTR-214 is welcome news, the company faces a crowded frontline renal cell carcinoma treatment landscape and stiff commercial hurdles, Chattopadhyay tells investors in a research note. He believes that unless the NKTR-214 plus Opdivo combination is meaningfully superior to the Opdivo and Yervoy combination, Bristol-Myers (BMY) “may not be willing to muscle the commercial launch, given the cannibalization of its existing franchise.”
