Jefferies analyst Andrew Tsai initiated coverage of Lexicon with a Hold rating and $3 price target. The firm sees an 80%-85% probability the FDA approves sotagliflozin for heart failure in May, but is "less confident" about the commercial launch cadence and overall market opportunity, noting that its $350M peak sales estimate is below consensus at $700M. The firm’s risk-adjusted sum-of-the-parts value suggests a "balanced risk/reward" at a market cap of about $475M.
