Valuation Perspective
The stock trades at a P/S of 1.27x and a P/B of 1.18x, which is relatively modest for the pharmaceutical sector.
However, the TTM P/E is negative (-4.98) due to recent earnings challenges, while the Forward P/E of 6.24 is above its historical average of 4.11, suggesting the recent rally has priced in some future optimism.
Analyst Targets
Coverage from 12 analysts shows a consensus leaning bullish: 2 Strong Buy, 5 Buy, 3 Hold, 2 Underperform. The average price target is $13.90, with a range from $10.00 to $18.00. The current price is above the consensus target.
Weekly Outlook
Expect consolidation or a minor pullback after the sharp overbought rally, with initial support at $14.66. The key for the bullish case is holding above the $15.00 psychological level.
A sustained breakout above $15.60 could target the $16.50-$18.00 range. Conversely, a break below $14.66 may see a test of the $14.00 support zone.
