Investing.com - RBC Capital has raised its price target on Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:REGN) to $695 from $688 while maintaining a Sector Perform rating on the stock. The biotech giant, with a market capitalization of $58.9 billion, currently trades at a P/E ratio of 13.6x, while analyst targets range from $504 to $940.
The price target increase follows what RBC described as "nice top-line beats" that should help improve market sentiment toward the pharmaceutical company. The firm specifically highlighted good growth in Dupixent and better-than-expected resilience from Eylea. This performance is reflected in the company’s robust annual revenue of $14.2 billion and strong financial health score of "GOOD" according to InvestingPro analysis.
RBC noted that Regeneron appears "somewhat undervalued fundamentally," but suggested the stock may need "emergence of a high-profile pipeline program and/or life cycle visibility" to move significantly higher.
Despite the positive operational performance, RBC identified several ongoing challenges for Regeneron, including overall ophthalmology franchise erosion, the longer-term loss of exclusivity for Dupixent, and "continued (albeit likely minor) regulatory missteps."
The firm expects a near-term margin improvement for Regeneron, which could further enhance market sentiment that RBC senses is already beginning to improve.
