Arcutis Biotherapeutics (ARQT) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Arcutis Biotherapeutics (ARQT) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Arcutis Biotherapeutics Inc. is experiencing strong momentum in its product sales, particularly highlighted by a 55% quarter-over-quarter increase in Zoryve’s net product revenue, which reached $69.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, exceeding pre-announced expectations. The company anticipates sustained revenue growth into 2025, underpinned by new indications, expanded market coverage, and a strategic shift away from steroid treatments, leading management to project breakeven profitability by 2026. Additionally, the successful launch of Zoryve foam and cream 0.15% is expected to further enhance product sales and reinforce the favorable reception from dermatologists, solidifying the product's position in the market.
Bears say
Arcutis Biotherapeutics Inc. reported a substantial decline in R&D expenses, decreasing 39.1% year-over-year to $14.5 million, which fell short of expectations, while the company also sustained a loss of $10.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The reliance on ZORYVE as the sole commercial asset poses significant product concentration risk, compounded by potential competition from emerging oral therapies and uncertainties surrounding additional indications for ZORYVE. Furthermore, operational financing risks are heightened by increasing expenses related to both the development and commercialization efforts, which are anticipated to remain flat in R&D for 2025 but will see an increase in SG&A costs due to expanded sales initiatives.
