Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) upgraded Cytokinetics to an Overweight rating with a $67 price target, anticipating significant developments, including the potential approval of aficamten for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The firm expects aficamten to receive approval within the year, positioning it as a first-line therapy.

Cytokinetics is preparing for a potential U.S. commercial launch of aficamten in September 2025, with plans to expand its commercial infrastructure in Europe and China through partnerships. The company also provided its financial guidance for 2025, projecting GAAP operating expenses between $670 million and $710 million.
