PTC Therapeutics stock rating reiterated on EU approval of Sephience

Investing.com - Evercore ISI reiterated its Outperform rating on PTC Therapeutics (NASDAQ:PTCT), a $3.86 billion market cap company with impressive revenue growth of 91% over the last twelve months, following the European Union’s approval of the company’s drug Sephience.

The approval in the EU represents a significant milestone for PTC Therapeutics and could set a precedent for the upcoming July 29 PDUFA date in the United States, according to Evercore ISI. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains excellent financial health with strong growth prospects, with additional insights available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report.

The research firm noted that the EU approval might also support potential future approvals in other markets including Japan and Brazil, expanding the global reach of Sephience.

Evercore ISI indicated it anticipates PTC Therapeutics will provide additional information regarding pricing strategy, ongoing discussions with payers, and potential early adopters of the newly approved treatment.

The firm maintained its view that the potential approval and subsequent launch of Sephience will be the primary catalyst for PTC Therapeutics stock performance over the next 12 months.
