RBC Capital analyst Brian Abrahams raised the firm’s price target on Regeneron to $806 from $787 but keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares. The analyst states that the firm’s statistical deep dive suggests "high likelihood" that the company’s upcoming phase 3 COPD trial will "hit", and its success could considerably de-risk an additional $3.4B and $1.1B of out-year sales and profit opportunity. The firm adds that its statistical model constructed alongside that of experts showed that having passed through a futility analysis, dupilumab likelihood of ultimately showing statistical significance may be 83%, though its neutral stance on the stock reflects a cap on potential upside for Regeneron as its Eylea dynamics are still uncertain.
