Interactive Brokers shares jump as it secures spot in S&P 500
On Monday, Guggenheim Securities adjusted its price target for Immunovant shares, listed on (NASDAQ:IMVT), to $44.00, a decrease from the previous $46.00, while sustaining a Buy rating on the stock. Currently trading at $20.41, the stock is near its 52-week low of $19.86, according to InvestingPro data. The broader analyst community remains bullish, with targets ranging from $41 to $58. The modification follows a recent investors lunch in New York where Immunovant’s management team presented their expectations for upcoming clinical trial readouts for batoclimab in treating myasthenia gravis (gMG) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), as well as outlining the company’s strategy for their next-generation drug candidate ’1402.
Immunovant’s management conveyed optimism about the efficacy of anti-FcRn therapies in gMG, particularly expecting the lower 340mg dose of batoclimab to demonstrate significant efficacy. They also anticipate the higher 680mg dose to surpass the lower dose by at least 10% in responder rates for both gMG and CIDP. Moreover, the company aims to present a detailed data package similar to what was provided for the Graves’ disease readout, ensuring investors receive a clinically relevant analysis.
Additionally, the company’s CIDP trial has adopted more stringent criteria compared to a similar trial by a competitor, which Immunovant believes will serve as a proof of concept for optimizing future trials with ’1402. While InvestingPro data shows the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 6.04 and holds more cash than debt, its overall financial health score remains weak as it continues to invest in clinical development. The breadth of opportunities for ’1402 was also highlighted, with six Investigational New Drug (IND) applications already cleared and a total of ten indications expected by March 31, 2026.
In terms of sales projections, Guggenheim analysts are conservatively estimating a global peak sales potential of $2.4 billion for batoclimab in gMG and CIDP alone. The firm’s financial model has been updated to reflect the third fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2024, with the new price target of $44 reflecting these updates and expectations. Guggenheim reaffirms its Buy rating on Immunovant, signaling confidence in the company’s drug development and market potential.
