Brandon Folkes has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight the potential of Connect Biopharma Holdings’ product, Rademikibart, in the treatment of asthma and COPD. One of the key reasons is the drug’s potential to become the first and only product with an acute exacerbation label claim, which could significantly differentiate it in the market. Furthermore, the data suggests that a majority of prescribers would likely continue using Rademikibart for acute patients if it also had a chronic label claim, indicating strong market acceptance.
Another critical factor supporting the Buy rating is Rademikibart’s unique biological profile. Unlike Dupixent, a competing drug, Rademikibart does not increase eosinophil counts, which could be a significant safety advantage in long-term treatment. This differentiation, along with promising early data showing rapid onset of efficacy, positions Rademikibart as a potential leader in both acute and chronic airway disease. Additionally, the possibility of attracting a larger commercial partner to support further development and label expansion enhances the investment potential of Connect Biopharma Holdings.
In another report released on November 3, BTIG also initiated coverage with a Buy rating on the stock with a $10.00 price target.
