$PTN On watch - HC Wainwright: Why The Upside Potential For Palatin Technologies Is Nearly Fivefold
Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PTN), a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on treatments for diseases with significant unmet medical needs, boasts a lead asset, bremelanotide, that has an "arousing number of major boxes checked," according to H.C. Wainwright.
The Analyst
H.C. Wainwright & Co's Joseph Pantginis initiated coverage of Palatin Technologies' stock with a Buy rating and $5 price target.
The Thesis
Bremelanotide, a treatment for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in women, offers investors a "derisked opportunity" for three reasons, Pantginis said in the initiation note. They are:
A New Drug Application was already filed with the FDA on March 26.
Two Phase 3 studies yielded positive results.
A North American partnership is already in place with AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAG).
Regional partnerships in China and Korea are already established.
Four more potential catalysts are not presently reflected in Palatin's share price, Pantginis said:
Expectations for a partnership in Europe.
The potential to become the first company to have a first-in-class and best-in-class drug for an unaddressed market.
Expectations for full FDA approval.
A management team with proven execution.
Price Action
Shares of Palatin Technologies were trading higher by 3.33 percent at the time of publication Friday.
