DBV Technologies stock target raised to $16 by H.C. Wainwright

On Monday, H.C. Wainwright analysts raised the price target for DBV Technologies S.A (NASDAQ:DBVT) to $16.00, up from the previous $7.00, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The adjustment follows a positive evaluation of the company’s progress with its epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) platform, particularly concerning Viaskin Peanut, a product still under investigation. The stock has shown remarkable momentum, with a 189% year-to-date return and currently trading near its 52-week high of $9.89. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for DBVT range from $15.08 to $36.70, suggesting significant potential upside.

DBV Technologies has reported encouraging data from the EPITOPE and EPOPEX studies involving toddlers, which has been instrumental in the price target revision. These studies showcase the potential strength and durability of their EPIT platform. Furthermore, the VITESSE trial for older children has achieved regulatory alignment, adding to the company’s credibility and the analyst’s confidence in their developmental trajectory.

Entering the second half of 2025, DBV Technologies is recognized for having a solid pro-forma cash position, though InvestingPro data indicates the company is quickly burning through cash with a current ratio of 0.72, suggesting short-term obligations exceed liquid assets. The company is anticipated to have access to an additional $180 million in potential proceeds from warrants, contingent on favorable VITESSE trial results. This financial standing is expected to provide the company with increased flexibility and momentum for future operations, which is crucial given the company’s current market capitalization of $237.23 million.

The analyst’s commentary highlighted DBV Technologies’ strategic regulatory and commercial planning in the U.S. and EU for two key age demographics: 1-3 and 4-7 years old. This approach targets a significant U.S. market comprising approximately 670,000 children with peanut allergies. The company’s clear path forward in these markets is a primary reason for the analyst’s reiterated Buy rating and the substantial increase in the price target, despite current revenue challenges indicated by a 76.59% decline in the last twelve months.

In other recent news, DBV Technologies has been in the spotlight with several key developments. JMP Securities has maintained a Market Outperform rating for the company, along with a $10.00 price target, highlighting optimism around the company’s Viaskin Peanut trials. The company plans to release top-line results from the Phase 3 VITESSE trial for peanut-allergic children aged 4-7 in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a Biologics License Application submission expected in the first half of 2026. However, DBV Technologies is currently facing financial challenges, as it anticipates running out of cash by April and is actively seeking additional capital to support its operations. Despite these financial hurdles, the company has received positive feedback from the FDA regarding its clinical trial designs, which are crucial for future product approvals. Additionally, the long-term efficacy data from the Phase 3 PEOPLE study indicated significant improvements in children’s tolerance to peanuts after treatment with Viaskin Peanut. The anticipation surrounding these trials and the potential approval of Viaskin Peanut is reflected in the maintained confidence from JMP Securities. These developments underscore the importance of DBV Technologies’ ongoing efforts to address peanut allergies in children.
