Verve Therapeutics initiated with a Neutral at Credit Suisse
On October 6, 2022, Credit Suisse analyst Richard Law began coverage on Verve Therapeutics, giving it a neutral rating and a $48 price target. He said he is cautious about VERVE-101. Although VERVE-101 is a onetime PCSK9 therapy that could free patients from a lifetime of monthly injections, patients would still need to take oral statins daily, the analyst noted. He thinks there are more market barriers associated with commercial payers and higher out-of-pocket costs for Medicare patients. In addition, Law argued that Leqvio has shown little commercial success, despite less frequent dosing every six months. Its neutral rating is driven by these concerns and Verve’s ability to compete with established and more deeply entrenched large pharma/biotech companies. However, the analyst believes that the challenges for payers may not be fully appreciated until the product is approved/launched and Verve’s stock price may continue to rise because of clinical development and positive data.
