Truist Securities models $730M peak revenue for Protagonist Therapeutics (PTGX) in Icotyde royalties
Truist Securities analyst Srikripa Devarakonda reiterated a Buy rating and $110.00 price target on Protagonist Therapeutics (NASDAQ: PTGX)
The analyst commented, "This morning, Protagonist (PTGX, Buy) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ, NR) reported FDA approval of Icotyde (icotrokinra) in 12+ year old moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PsO), marking Protagonist's official transition to a commercial company. We see strong differentiation as the first oral therapy with biologic-like efficacy in a TAM with ~8M patients, as per JNJ. We model $730M peak revenue to PTGX in royalties vs $560M consensus and note partner JNJ (JNJ, NR) estimates ico to present a ~$5-10B market opportunity. With priority review for rusfertide (launch expected 2H26), we think this sets PTGX up to continue to deliver pipeline progress with strong cash position. Reiterate Buy."
