JPMorgan analyst Anupam Rama raised his price target for Ophthotech to $110 from $95 citing the elimination of Regeneron (REGN) from the Wet age-related macular degeneration space following its trial failure. Ophthotech closed yesterday down $2.56 to $43.57. The stock is down 20% since last Friday amid mechanism concerns following Regeneron's phase 2 data, Rama tells investors in a research note. The analyst views the weakness in Ophthotech as a buying opportunity. There are important mechanistic differences between the company's Fovista and Regeneron's REGN2176-3, and early phase 1 data for Fovista "are comparatively more compelling," the analyst contends. He points out that the Phase 3 results with Fovista + Lucentis combination therapy are expected this quarter. The analyst keeps an Overweight rating on Ophthotech.
