Jefferies analyst Biren Amin says Neurocrine Biosciences' NBI-74778, in Phase II development for the orphan disease congenital adrenal hyperplasia, has retained a low profile to date. The analyst estimates a $300M-plus market in the U.S., which he believes "could support robust uptake." Neurocrine gets no credit for the drug, and as such, early signals of efficacy could rally shares $5-$10 with minimal downside risk, Amin tells investors in a research note. He keeps a Buy rating on Neurocrine with a $105 price target.
