JPMorgan upgraded Vir Biotechnology (NASDAQ:VIR) to Overweight from Neutral while cutting its price target to $34.00 from $35.00, noting there is an "underappreciated link between Phase 2 PENNINSULA & Mainland flue prevention market."
The firm anticipates significant commercial potential for VIR-2482 within the high-risk, older adult population (JPM est. peak $3 billion) and believes that positive PENNINSULA data could result in attractive upside potential, considering the expected linear read-through from a younger phase 2 study population.
