Douglas Tsao has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Evotec AG’s potential for future growth despite current challenges. The company has faced a decline in its Discovery & Preclinical Development (DPD) revenue, which has been impacted by a weak early drug discovery market. However, Evotec’s strategic cost-saving measures and its reaffirmed full-year revenue guidance, supported by a significant upfront payment from a deal with Sandoz, indicate a positive outlook.
Furthermore, Evotec’s Just-Evotec Biologics (JEB) segment shows promise with an expanded customer base and validation from the Sandoz agreement, which is expected to bring substantial upfront payments and future revenues. Additionally, Evotec’s advanced AI capabilities, which are integrated throughout its drug discovery and development processes, have been validated by broad partnerships and encouraging clinical progress. These factors collectively suggest that Evotec is well-positioned to capitalize on its strengths and navigate through current market challenges, justifying the Buy rating.
In another report released yesterday, TD Cowen also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $5.00 price target.
