Oppenheimer Starts Provention Bio Inc. (PRVB) at Outperform

Oppenheimer analyst Justin Kim initiates coverage on Provention Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: PRVB) with a Outperform rating and a price target of $29.00.

The analyst comments "Provention focuses on treatment and prevention of autoimmune diseases with a focus on type 1 diabetes (T1D) autoimmunity. Preparing for a BLA submission at the end of the year for lead drug teplizumab, Provention is also effecting a potential paradigm shift in the treatment of T1D autoimmunity, which we believe could become a mutli-billion-dollar treatment category at peak. With a clear line-of-sight of teplizumab's path to approval, we anticipate the story to be driven largely by (pre-)commercial execution over the coming 12-18 months, with additional pipeline catalyst events in the longer term. We are bullish."
