Cantor Fitzgerald maintains $118 target on Ultragenyx stock

On Friday, Cantor Fitzgerald reaffirmed its Overweight rating and $118.00 price target for Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical (TADAWUL:2070) Inc. (NASDAQ:RARE), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in rare diseases. Currently trading at $43.52, with a market capitalization of $4.02 billion, InvestingPro data indicates the stock is currently undervalued. The firm's analysts highlighted the progress of Ultragenyx's DTX301 program, a gene therapy for Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency. They noted the completion of Phase 3 enrollment and a recent protocol amendment as significant developments. The company has demonstrated strong revenue growth of 27.44% over the last twelve months, according to InvestingPro data.

The analysts also pointed to setrusumab's upcoming clinical readouts for osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), expected in mid-2025, as a potential catalyst for the stock. They suggested that positive results could lead to a doubling of the share price. Additionally, the analysts believe that Ultragenyx's earlier stage gene therapy pipeline holds potential upside not currently reflected in the stock's valuation.

Cantor Fitzgerald's outlook includes a 30% probability of success for the OTC deficiency program and projects unadjusted peak sales of approximately $560 million. They describe Ultragenyx's situation as a classic high-risk, high-reward scenario, with significant developments expected in the near to mid-term future for the company's clinical programs.
