Bernstein analyst William Pickering maintains $Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN.US)$ with a buy rating, and adjusts the target price from $1,210 to $1,110.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 58.8% and a total average return of 4.2% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Regeneron's third-quarter results surpassed expectations on revenue and more significantly in EPS. However, the performance of the Eylea franchise was a predominant concern. The impending introduction of a biosimilar version of Eylea's standard dose by a competitor casts doubt on the future of the franchise. This includes the potential underappreciated rate of erosion for the standard dose and possible impact on the high dose variant.
The recent decline in Regeneron's share value is viewed as an excessive response to the latest developments concerning Pavblu, the less than favorable projections for Q4 Eylea HD, and the absence of clear communication regarding future growth prospects for Eylea.
The recent decline in Regeneron's stock post-Q3 earnings took many by surprise, as it was thought that the near- and long-term consensus estimates for the ophthalmology franchise were overly optimistic. Despite this, it is believed that the intrinsic value of Regeneron's fundamentals remains significantly higher than the current share price.
