On Monday, Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) adjusted its stance on Idorsia (IDIA:SW) (OTC: IDRSF), upgrading the stock from Sell to Hold while setting a price target of CHF1.00. The revision followed the company's third-quarter results, which were released on October 29, 2024, and did not include a conference call. The analyst noted that the results were largely as expected and did not have a significant impact on the company's valuation.
The analyst's commentary highlighted the importance of further clarity on funding and the potential for a partnership or monetization strategy related to the launch of Idorsia's Tryvio product. This clarity is still pending, and until it is resolved, the situation for Idorsia remains somewhat uncertain. The decision to upgrade the rating was influenced by the stock's performance, which has fallen below the longstanding price target of CHF1.00.
Deutsche Bank had previously downgraded Idorsia to Sell on April 25, 2023, due to a challenging start to the year. However, the current valuation of the company is believed to reflect the high-risk nature of the investment. The analyst suggests that there are scenarios where Idorsia could still create value, particularly through the success of Tryvio and other early-stage pipeline products.
The update from Deutsche Bank comes after a period of close observation of Idorsia's financial performance and market activities. The analyst's comments indicate a cautious optimism, recognizing the potential for the company to turn around its fortunes despite the risks involved.
