Optimistic Outlook for Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical with a Strong Buy Rating Based on Promising Pipeline and Key Treatment Updates

J.P. Morgan analyst Anupam Rama has maintained their bullish stance on RARE stock, giving a Buy rating on April 9.

Anupam Rama has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical’s promising pipeline and the potential for positive updates on key treatments. Rama’s optimism is partly based on the upcoming phase 1/2 dose expansion update for GTX-102 in Angelman Syndrome, where prior data and commentary suggest possible success in cognition and sleep domains. This, along with a potential for trends suggesting success at later time points in other domains, contributes to the positive outlook. The anticipation of a win scenario, which could result in a significant upside to the stock price, also plays a crucial role in the Buy rating.
Moreover, Rama’s analysis considers the value of Ultragenyx’s commercial business and setrusumab, a key component of the investment thesis for many. Even under a low probability disaster scenario for GTX-102, Rama sees an opportunity to buy shares, underscoring his confidence in the company’s broader portfolio. The overall valuation model, which includes both the commercial business and the broader pipeline, supports the Buy rating, indicating a robust potential for growth and a positive outlook for the company’s future.

In another report released on April 9, Wells Fargo also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $72.00 price target.
