Novartis's Stock Selloff Looks Overdone

Dow Jones
Sep 09

0823 GMT - Novartis's stock selloff on the failure of a neuromuscular drug in a clinical trial looks overdone and upcoming study results could be more positive for the Swiss drugmaker, Citi analysts say in a research note. The company reiterated its 2025-2030 outlook and trial setbacks for experimental neuromuscular and heart drugs del-desiran and pelacarsen are partially mitigated by the success of its remibrutinib medicine in a multiple sclerosis study, the analysts say. Full data for the MS study and results from another trial for the same drug in skin condition hidradenitis suppurativa could play in Novartis's favor, they add. Citi cuts its target price on Novartis stock to 135 Swiss francs from 142 francs. Shares fall 1.1% to 110.54 francs, after closing 11% lower Tuesday.
