JonesTrading analyst Soumit Roy has maintained their bullish stance on AVXL stock, giving a Buy rating on November 21.
Soumit Roy has given a Buy rating to Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (AVXL) due to a mix of promising developments and potential market underappreciation of the company’s pipeline. The anticipation of pivotal data from the EXCELENCE study in pediatric Rett syndrome by the end of the year serves as a near-term catalyst that could significantly impact the company’s valuation. Additionally, the initiation of a Marketing Authorization Application in Europe for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease with blarcamesine reflects a proactive approach in a market where similar treatments have yet to be approved.
Furthermore, the positive data from earlier phase studies in adult Rett syndrome patients suggests a strong potential for the Rett program, which the market has not fully valued yet. With plans to discuss regulatory paths with the FDA, both pediatric and adult data sets are expected to contribute to the New Drug Application filing. Combined with the strategic timing of the European filing and the company’s substantial cash reserves, these factors collectively justify the Buy rating and the positive outlook for Anavex’s stock performance.
In another report released on November 21, H.C. Wainwright also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $54.00 price target.
