Jefferies sets $150 target for Nektar Therapeutics amid promising alopecia drug data despite stock drop.

Jefferies analyst Roger Song set a $150 price target for Nektar Therapeutics, suggesting a 219% upside from its $46.99 trading price. This comes after Nektar presented positive six-month Phase IIb trial results for its alopecia drug REZPEG, which also targets atopic dermatitis and Type 1 diabetes. Despite the promising data showing maintained hair regrowth post-treatment, Nektar's stock fell 22.39% on the day of the announcement. The company plans a Phase III study with a selected dose of 24 micrograms per kilogram every two weeks, aiming to advance the drug's development further.
