Serge Belanger has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to the performance and potential of Cytokinetics’ products. The recent developments around Bristol-Myers Squibb’s cardiac drug, Camzyos, provide positive indicators for Cytokinetics, especially in the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) market, as the demand and sales for similar therapies are on the rise.
Additionally, although there are some regulatory updates and challenges, such as changes in echo monitoring requirements, these adjustments could ultimately benefit Cytokinetics by increasing treatment capacity for obstructive HCM patients. Furthermore, the ongoing trials and expected results from both Cytokinetics and competitors suggest a promising future for aficamten, Cytokinetics’ own product under development, particularly in non-obstructive HCM, which represents a significant market opportunity.
In another report released today, Truist Financial also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $70.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 139 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of CYTK in relation to earlier this year.
