Akebia Therapeutics (AKBA) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Akebia Therapeutics (AKBA) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Akebia Therapeutics Inc. is experiencing significant positive momentum due to the strong initial sales performance of its commercially launched drug, Vafseo, which is projected to ramp up from $136 million in revenue in FY25 to $374 million by FY28, presenting a substantial growth opportunity. The company has successfully implemented its "coiled spring" strategy, securing contracts with dialysis organizations and fostering prescriber demand, setting the stage for robust patient transitions to Vafseo. Furthermore, Akebia's combined R&D and SG&A expenses are below consensus expectations, allowing for enhanced financial flexibility and prompting upward revisions in revenue estimates for the near future.
Bears say
Akebia Therapeutics reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $22.8 million, indicating ongoing financial challenges despite potential market opportunities for its products. The company faces several risks, including a potentially smaller commercial opportunity for Vafseo due to competition and pricing pressures, along with regulatory hurdles that could delay product timelines. Furthermore, projected revenues from both Vafseo and Auryxia suggest a decline in performance as Auryxia approaches potential genericization, which significantly impacts projected sales and overall company valuation.
