Jefferies analyst Maury Raycroft upgraded BioCryst Pharmaceuticals to Buy from Hold and raised his price target for the shares to $7 from $5. The final APeX-1 data readout gives BCX7353 a better chance of success in a Phase III trial, Raycroft tells investors in a research note. Further, the analyst sees increased potential for eventual approval given the need for an oral option. Raycroft views BioCryst shares as undervalued. JPMorgan last night also upgraded BioCryst.
