Apellis Pharma (APLS) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Apellis Pharma (APLS) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Apellis Pharmaceuticals has demonstrated a solid performance with a 6% quarter-over-quarter growth in total injections, indicating a stable demand trajectory and anticipation of low to mid-single-digit growth for the remainder of the year. The company plans to leverage market expansion initiatives, including direct-to-consumer campaigns and education programs targeting younger practitioners, which are expected to drive future growth, particularly following positive tissue preservation data at 48 months. Additionally, financial modeling updates reflect an anticipated 9% to 10% revenue increase for Empaveli due to approvals in new indications, while R&D expenses have been adjusted downwards, enhancing the overall financial outlook for the company.
Bears say
Apellis Pharmaceuticals faces significant commercial risks, particularly related to competition and potential funding lapses, which could lead to downward revisions in growth estimates for its Gaze Acceleration (GA) market. The company’s projections for GA growth appear conservative compared to competitors, and challenges in successfully capturing market share from established treatments like Soliris and Ultomiris could further hinder its ability to penetrate the treatment-naïve market. Additionally, the risk of adverse real-world events, such as retinal vasculitis, may dampen physician confidence, potentially impacting commercial prospects for key products like Syfovre.
