Intercept Pharma (ICPT) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Intercept Pharma is a biopharmaceutical company that has seen major success with the drug Obeticholic acid, or OCA. The company has recently entered into an agreement for a buyout at $19 per share, representing an 82% premium to the recent closing price. With a successful OCA-BZF trial that is expected to further improve the drug's efficacy and an attractive buyout offer, Intercept Pharma appears to offer long-term prospects for investors who are looking to capitalize on the company's potential. In addition, the acquisition will expand Alfasigma's portfolio and presence in the US market, further unlocking potential value.
Bears say
Intercept Pharma is exposed to several key risks which could hinder their long-term success. Clinically, results from their Phase III program could yield negative safety or efficacy findings, which could lead to downward revisions. Regulators may impose a stringent review in NASH due to the lack of precedent, while increasing competition in the same space could impact market share. Financially, the company faces a need to raise additional capital prior to reaching profitability, which could lead to equity share dilution.
