Baird raised the firm’s price target on Longboard Pharmaceuticals to $60 from $36 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm raised its target fter Longboard announced last week that bexicaserin received Breakthrough Therapy designation from FDA for the treatment of seizures associated with Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs) for patients two years of age or older. Baird views this as a meaningful regulatory update that positions bexicaserin as likely going on to achieve $1B+ and quite possibly $2B+ in annual sales.
