Cantor Fitzgerald maintains HRMY stock Overweight rating

On Wednesday, Cantor Fitzgerald reaffirmed its confidence in Harmony Biosciences Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:HRMY), maintaining an Overweight rating with a steady price target of $54.00. The firm’s endorsement follows a detailed review of the company’s recent conference call, where Harmony (JO:HARJ) Biosciences provided updates on its clinical study designs, patient enrollment, and drug dosing strategies. The company’s strong financial health is evident in its impressive 78% gross margin and robust 22.8% revenue growth over the last twelve months.

The company’s conference call revealed promising details about ongoing trials, including open-label extension (OLE) rollover rates and the persistence of enrolled sample phenotypes. Analysts found the primary endpoint’s dynamic range and the study’s power to detect a true signal as particularly encouraging. These factors contribute to the firm’s optimistic outlook for Harmony Biosciences’ growth.

Harmony Biosciences is focusing on developing treatments for multiple rare and unmet neurological needs. With six registrational trials expected to be completed by the end of 2025, the company is poised for a series of product launches in the subsequent years. This progression is anticipated to establish the company as a leader in serving rare and orphan neurological conditions, a specialty referred to as "Newrology."

The firm’s analysis suggests that Harmony Biosciences is undervalued, especially for investors with a long-term perspective, citing an enterprise value to fiscal year 2025 revenue multiple of 1.9x. This valuation assessment aligns with InvestingPro data, which indicates the stock is trading below its Fair Value, with a PEG ratio of 0.81 suggesting attractive pricing relative to growth. This valuation is deemed particularly attractive in light of the upcoming clinical readouts.

These developments have the potential to significantly impact the company’s growth trajectory and market position. The company’s solid financial foundation, with a current ratio of 3.31 and more cash than debt on its balance sheet, positions it well to execute on these clinical programs.
