Re: Novavax (NVAX): Un Nuevo Comienzo
Oppenheimer is keeping the faith on Novavax (NVAX) although it does drop its price target a quarter to $1.25 a share. They reiterate their Buy rating with the following commentary following fourth quarter results.
On 3/18/19, NVAX reported 4Q18 financial results and provided important operating updates including: 1) disclosure that $40.8M was raised under ATM program in 1Q19 extending cash runway into late 2019, by our estimates, 2) expectation for business development to move quickly once regulatory discussions are completed for 3) optimism the current relationship with the ResVax can be extended. Our base case assumes FDA seeks an additional study for ResVax prior to approval but the product is approved in the EU (or another jurisdiction) allowing for distribution of the product in developing markets. Reducing PT from $1.50 to $1.25.”
