H.C. Wainwright reiterates Buy rating on Krystal Biotech stock ahead of Q2 results

Investing.com - H.C. Wainwright has maintained its Buy rating and $240.00 price target on Krystal Biotech (NASDAQ:KRYS) as the company approaches its second-quarter 2025 financial results, expected in August. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a "GREAT" financial health score of 3.75, with analyst consensus strongly bullish at 1.36 (where 1 is Strong Buy).

The research firm noted that while Vyjuvek results have contributed to share volatility, it remains pleased with the launch trajectory of what it describes as a first-in-class therapy. The company’s impressive 93.2% gross profit margins and 247.5% year-over-year revenue growth support this positive outlook.

H.C. Wainwright highlighted the market’s focus on quarterly financial results for Vyjuvek, acknowledging Krystal Biotech’s transparency regarding various components of the product launch.

The firm’s maintained price target of $240.00 represents potential upside from current trading levels for the biotechnology company.

The company posted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.20, below the forecasted $1.46, and revenue of $88.18 million, missing the anticipated $99.12 million. Despite the earnings miss, Krystal Biotech saw a 95% year-over-year increase in net product revenue for its flagship treatment, VYJUVEK. H.C. Wainwright maintained a Buy rating for Krystal Biotech, with a price target of $240, highlighting the company’s robust cash reserves of $765.3 million.
