Goldman Sachs analyst Salveen Richter says the global collaboration and license agreement between Incyte (INCY) and MorphoSys (MOR) to develop and commercialize tafasitamab for B-cell malignancies is an "incremental positive" for Incyte, as it adds a near commercial stage asset. Under the terms of the deal, the companies will co-commercialize tafasitamab with a 50:50 profit split in the U.S., while Incyte will have exclusive commercialization rights excluding the U.S. Outside of the initial indication, Incyte and MorphoSys will also explore monotherapy use of tafasitamab in other B cell malignancies as well as in combination with Incyte's parsaclisib, which Richter says offers upside to his numbers. He made no change to his Conviction Buy rating and $107 price target for Incyte shares.
