Stifel analyst Derek Archila initiated Madrigal Pharmaceuticals (MDGL) with a Hold rating and $126 price target, stating that he is positively biased heading into Phase 3 amid emerging evidence that point to the possibility resmetirom could demonstrate a benefit on fibrosis over time. However, he thinks the stock could be volatile around updates from competitors such as Viking Therapeutics (VKTX) and Genfit (GNFT) and sees few catalysts specific to Madrigal to drive shares up in the next 12-18 months, Archila tells investors.
