Relypsa (RLYP) Ticks Higher Ahead of FDA on ZS-9
Traders closely watching Relypsa (NASDAQ: RLYP) ahead of the imminent decision from the FDA on AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) competing drug LOKELMA (ZS-9), which some see as a binary event for the stock. After gaining 2.5% intra-day, shares tick 0.9% higher after-hours.
As noted prior, the most bearish analyst on the Street sees it playing out one of three ways for RLYP:
- If positive it could further pressure RLYP stock.
- A meaningful delay/Complete Response Letter (CRL) would be positive
- A long delay (such as a request for another trial) could reinvigorate the takeout thesis in RLYP
