Needham & Company analyst Chad Messer lowered his price target on Galena Biopharma (NASDAQ: GALE) to $4.00 (from $7.00) but maintained his Buy rating. The new price target represents 100% upside from yesterday's closing price.
Messer commented, "Abstral put in its best quarter since launch with $3.2 million in revenue, nearly double the $1.6 million in 3Q. Galena reiterated 2015 guidance for $15-18 million, including unspecified revenues from the launch of Zuplenz in 2Q:15. We look for modest continued growth in Abstral sales. Abstral should become accretive in 2015. Management devoted a larger than average portion of their year end call to NeuVax and GALE-301, which we believe remain the primary drivers for the GALE story. The Phase III NeuVax study enrolled its 700th patient and remains on track to complete over-enrollment by 5-10% at the end of 1Q:15. We expect an event-driven interim analysis around YE:15, with a topline data readout in 2018."
