H.C. Wainwright lowers United Therapeutics stock price target on Tyvaso competition concerns

Investing.com - H.C. Wainwright has reduced its price target on United Therapeutics Corp . (NASDAQ:UTHR) to $400 from $425 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The company, which boasts impressive gross margins of 89% and a perfect Piotroski Score of 9 according to InvestingPro data, has seen its shares decline nearly 8% over the past week.

The firm cited increased competition for United Therapeutics’ Tyvaso treatment as the primary reason for the adjustment, specifically pointing to the recent approval of Yutrepia, which is expected to decrease Tyvaso’s market penetration in both PAH and PH-ILD indications. Despite these concerns, the stock appears undervalued, trading at an attractive P/E ratio of 11.6 and near its 52-week low. Unlock 10+ additional valuable insights about UTHR with InvestingPro.

Despite the reduced price target, H.C. Wainwright reiterated its Buy rating on United Therapeutics stock, suggesting continued confidence in the company’s overall prospects.
