Phathom Pharmaceuticals: Strong Performance and Optimistic Outlook Amidst Patent Uncertainty

Analyst Joseph Stringer of Needham reiterated a Buy rating on Phathom Pharmaceuticals (PHAT – Research Report), retaining the price target of $28.00.

Joseph Stringer’s rating is based on Phathom Pharmaceuticals’ recent performance and future prospects. The company reported fourth-quarter revenue for Voquezna that exceeded market expectations, indicating strong underlying metrics despite anticipated short-term fluctuations. Although there is some uncertainty surrounding Voquezna’s patent exclusivity, management remains optimistic about meeting current revenue estimates for 2025.
Stringer also anticipates a favorable outcome from the FDA’s decision on the Citizens’ Petition, expected in early June, which could alleviate some of the pressure on the stock. Given these factors, Stringer maintains a Buy rating, reflecting confidence in the company’s ability to navigate current challenges and capitalize on future opportunities.
