Investing.com - BofA Securities raised its price target on Incyte (NASDAQ:INCY) to $109.00 from $104.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Buy rating following the company’s third-quarter results. The stock, which has gained over 47% in the past six months, currently trades near its 52-week high of $92.86, with InvestingPro analysis suggesting the shares remain undervalued.

Incyte reported Jakafi revenue of $791 million for the third quarter, representing a 2% quarter-over-quarter increase and exceeding both BofA’s estimate of $774 million and consensus expectations of $773 million.

The company plans to submit bioequivalence data for ruxolitinib XR by year-end, with an expected launch in mid-2026, and anticipates that 15-30% of patients could switch to the extended-release formulation by 2028, providing some protection ahead of loss of exclusivity.
