Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Nektar Therapeutics has demonstrated promising interim data from the Phase 2b REZOLVE-AD trial for its product REZPEG (NKTR-358), showing a significant 68% reduction in EASI scores at 16 weeks, which improved to 75% at 24 weeks post-crossover, indicating progressive efficacy over time. Additionally, the middle dose of 18µg/kg Q2W presented statistically significant improvements across most secondary endpoints, achieving the highest EASI-75 response rate of 46%. This strong clinical data underscores the therapeutic potential of REZPEG, supporting a favorable outlook for the company's ongoing drug development endeavors.
Bears say
Nektar Therapeutics faces a negative outlook primarily due to ongoing legal challenges that allege misrepresentation of its lead drug, REZPEG, which could hinder its market potential and development. The concerns raised about unnecessary delays and heightened thresholds for late-stage trials further impede investor confidence and create uncertainty surrounding the drug's future. Additionally, the lawsuit suggests that issues with tolerability, linked to common adverse events from other treatments, may complicate REZPEG's acceptance in competitive therapeutic areas.
