Vertex (VRTX) PT Raised to $220 at Cowen
Cowen analyst Phil Nadeau raised the price target on Vertex (NASDAQ: VRTX) to $220.00 (from $210.00) while maintaining a Outperform rating.
The analyst commented, "VRTX reported Q4 CF franchise revenue of $868.2MM vs consensus of $818.8MM, non-GAAP EPS of $1.30 vs. consensus of $1.08. 2019 revenue guidance bracketed consensus. Results from the VX-445/tex/iva triples are on track for Q1, with an FDA filing for the first triple regimen anticipated by mid-year.
