Shares of Onyx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ONXX) are trading up nearly 4 percent in Friday's pre-market session following an upgrade from Leerink Swann's Howard Liang.
The analyst now rates the stock an Outperform, up from Market Perform previously. The price target was lifted from $65 to $82.
Liang believes the failure of Bristol-Myers' (NYSE: BMY) brivanib creates a "significant positive for the long-term outlook of the Nexavar franchise." The analyst believes Onyx's "long-term outlook could be further enhanced by the opportunities for Nexavar in adjuvant liver cancer (STORM trial) and oral proteasome inhibitor oprozomib."
With shares of Onyx closing Thursday's session at $68.40, Leerink's new price target represents potential upside of about 20 percent.
