Akebia Therapeutics (AKBA) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Akebia Therapeutics (AKBA) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Akebia Therapeutics is moving towards success with their oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor, Vafseo, which has shown positive results in terms of cardiovascular safety and reduced hospitalizations for dialysis-dependent CKD patients. They also have potential treatments for other kidney diseases such as FSGS. With a solid portfolio and ongoing research and development in the area of kidney diseases, Akebia Therapeutics is well positioned for growth and success in the future. The company's valuation through a SOTP NPV analysis and their access to a large pool of potential patients further supports a positive outlook for their stock.
Bears say
Akebia Therapeutics is facing an uncertain future as it struggles to gain adoption for Vafseo, its core therapy for anemia in chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis. With the recent news that Vafseo will no longer receive separate TDAPA payments and will instead be incorporated into the standard dialysis payment bundle with reduced pricing, the company's potential for revenue growth is significantly reduced. While the VOICE trial outcomes data is promising, it remains to be seen if dialysis organizations, particularly DaVita which treats 1 in 3 dialysis patients in the US market, will adopt the in-center dosing protocol and drive growth for Vafseo.
