NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Arrowhead Research (ARWR) hit a five-year high of $27.21 on Wednesday after the FDA approved a phase 2a trial of its hepatitis B drug ARC-520, and several analysts consequently praised the company.
Deutsche Bank initiated coverage on the stock with a "buy" rating and a target price of $45. The firm predicted the drug could peak at annual sales of $5.2 billion, and noted clinical trial data prior to that in 2014 and 2015 could elevate the stock further.
RBC Capital Markets also initiated coverage at "outperform" with a target price of $35. The firm notes that the FDA approval could eventually lead to a multi-billion-dollar product and more drugs derived from the same platform.
Arrowhead has had quite the turnaround in the last year, as its one year low price is $1.65.
