Goldman Sachs initiates coverage on Cubist Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CBST) with a Conviction Buy List rating and $54 price target, suggesting 24% upside.
The firm highlight that Cubist is a profitable mid-cap biotechnology company with two marketed drugs ($925mn 2012E revenue) and a late-stage pipeline (three drugs in Phase 3, Ph3, by YE2012).
"In our view, the key driver of shares is pipeline drug CXA for hospital-acquired infections, for which we expect positive Ph3 data in 2H13. We project that CXA’s
expected launch in 2H14 will help drive outer-year growth (we model 2013-
2016E EPS CAGR of 20%)," the analyst comments.
