Seattle Genetics label expansion likely to drive Q4 beat, says Piper Jaffray


Piper Jaffray analyst Joseph Catanzaro says the question of whether Q4 is an easy beat for Seattle Genetics’ Adcetris has been raised after the drug received a label expansion in mid-November to include the E-2 first-line peripheral T-cell lymphoma setting. The analyst expects the new label to contribute to a Q4 Adcetris beat as consensus estimates are largely unchanged since the news. However, how much and where 2019 guidance falls will point to expectations for E-2 moving forward, Catanzaro tells investors in a research note. He believes $137M-plus in Q4 sales and 2019 guidance of $660M-plus “would be very positive numbers” for Adcetris. The analyst keeps a Neutral rating on Seattle Genetics with a $66 price target.
