UPDATE: JPMorgan Upgrades Esperion Therapeutics (ESPR) to Neutral Citing 'Achievable Estimates as Outcomes Data Nears'

JPMorgan analyst Jessica Fye upgraded Esperion Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ESPR) from Underweight to Neutral with a price target of $6.00.

The analyst comments "We are updating our model following ESPR’s 1Q earnings and upgrading our rating from Underweight to Neutral with a $6 Dec 2022 price target. While the initial Nexletol/Nexlizet launch did not materialize as some had hoped, with 2022 revenue estimates looking achievable, top-line data for CLEAR Outcomes less than a year away (we expect early 2023 given the pace of event accumulation), and sufficient cash to fund the company through that event, we see fewer reasons for underperformance."
