Needham & Company Starts Theravance Biopharma (TBPH) at Buy

Needham & Company initiates coverage on Theravance Biopharma (NASDAQ: TBPH) with a Buy rating and a price target of $40.00.

Analyst Alan Carr commented, "We are initiating coverage of Theravance with a BUY rating and $40 price target. The company has a diversified strategy and pipeline, with a mix of internal and out-licensed programs across various indications, all derived from a small molecule drug discovery platform. TBPH recently announced positive results from Phase 3 trials of revefenacin in COPD, which we expect to be commercialized with collaborator Mylan in 2H18. Results are expected from several programs in 2017, including TD-1473 in Ulcerative Colitis (Phase 1b), velusetrag in Gastroparesis (Phase 2), TD-9855 in Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension (Phase 2), and TD-1439 in Heart Failure (Phase 1). TD-1473 is of particular interest and likely to drive the stock next year. We have a favorable bias based on preclinical and early clinical data."
