Buy Rating Affirmed for Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals Amidst Growth Potential and Strong Commercial Execution

Analyst Paul Choi from Goldman Sachs maintained a Buy rating on Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals (KNSA – Research Report) and keeping the price target at $32.00.

Paul Choi has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that indicate Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals’ strong market position and potential for growth. Choi highlights the consistent execution demonstrated by the company, with the first quarter of 2024 showing a solid start. He points out that despite the recent underperformance following the Phase 2 results of abiprubart in rheumatoid arthritis, the company’s commercial prowess, especially with the product Arcalyst, is commendable.
