Wedbush Morgan Upgrades Halozyme Therapeutics (HALO) to Outperform
Wedbush Morgan upgrades Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HALO) from Neutral to Outperform. Price target increased from $7 to $10.
Wedbush analyst says, "We believe that shortly, Roche (OTC: RHHBY) will announce the initiation of the Phase III study for their lead program under the Halozyme Enhanze deal (we believe it is HERCEPTIN). We do not think that Roche would have started what we believe is the third program with the technology (subcutaneous RITUXAN Phase I) if the data from the subcutaneous HERCEPTIN and subcutaneous ACTEMRA Phase I studies were negative. Based upon our anticipation that Roche will go into Phase III, which we derive by Roche continuing new studies and the time from completion of the first Phase I study, we believe that Roche will announce the initiation of the Phase III and the name of the drug by YE:09."
