Cantor sees 'golden egg' potential in Dermira, boosts price target to $25

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Louise Chen raised her price target for Dermira to $25 from $20 and reiterates an Overweight rating on the shares. The stock in afternoon trading is up 14c to $11.27. Peak sales potential of Qbrexza for hyperhidrosis and lebrikizumab for atopic dermatitis are underappreciated, Chen tells investors in a research note ahead of the long Easter weekend titled "We Think This Bunny Could Lay The Golden Egg." The analyst also thinks Dermira is an "interesting company in a consolidating space." Her new price target reflects the inclusion of Lebrikizumab sales following the positive Phase 2b data readout earlier this year.
