In other recent news, Disc Medicine has been the focus of several analyst updates and strategic developments. Cantor Fitzgerald maintained its Overweight rating on the company, keeping a 12-month price target of $99. This decision was based on updated financial models that reflect the company’s recent public offering and revised operating expense estimates. Meanwhile, Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) raised its price target for Disc Medicine to $75, citing the company’s plans to submit a New Drug Application for bitopertin in 2025 and its solid financial position following a capital raise. The company is also preparing for a phase 3 trial of bitopertin, which could lead to a 2026 launch if priority review is granted by the FDA.

TD Cowen initiated coverage on Disc Medicine with a Buy rating, highlighting the potential of bitopertin to penetrate the erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) market, which is significantly larger than initially assumed. Additionally, TD Cowen pointed out the underappreciated market potential of the company’s treatment 0974 in the myelofibrosis anemia space, estimating it to be nearly a $1 billion opportunity. The chronic kidney disease market, expected to be validated this year, presents another significant opportunity for the company. These recent developments indicate a promising outlook for Disc Medicine’s drug pipeline and strategic market positioning.
