Progenics initiated with an Outperform at Credit Suisse

Credit Suisse analyst Martin Auster initiated Progenics with an Outperform rating and $6.50 price target. In a research note to investors, Auster says he believes Progenics’ royalties and future milestones from Relistor and revenue from Azedra support a core business with an NPV of about $5 per share, and says that as the commercial uptake of Azedra begins to unfold, investor focus is expected to turn to upside opportunities in prostate cancer PSMA-targeting diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. He adds that Novartis’ (NVS) recent $2.1B acquisition of Endocyte (ECYT) supports pharma interest and attractive valuations in the space.
