Cytokinetics Inc

Stifel initiated coverage on Cytokinetics Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYTK#NASDAQ">CYTK</a>), noting the company&#8217;s catalyst rich one to two years.
The M&amp;A speculation ramped up in early 2024 after the company released SEQUOIA-HCM Phase 3 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36413624/cytokinetics-drug-potential-analyst-suggests-key-role-of-established-pharma-for-pot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trial data of&nbsp;aficamten</a> in December 2023. However, last year,&nbsp;Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) decided to step back from pursuing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/01/36616494/cytokinetics-heart-drug-is-a-multi-billion-dollar-opportunity-by-2032-despite-novar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the&nbsp;Cytokinetics deal</a>.
Amgen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>), AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>), and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) also all popped up as potential suitors, though the stock faded from there as a deal never materialized.

Cytokinetics has fallen out of favor with investors after a turbulent start to 2024, marked by a controversial Royalty Pharma Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPRX#NASDAQ">RPRX</a>) deal and no <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38992589/heart-disease-focused-cytokinetics-operations-are-on-track-despite-acquisition-unce" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mergers or acquisitions</a>.
Investors poorly received the structure of the Royalty Pharma deal at the time, and it continues to be a concern for many even today.
Stifel has initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CYTK/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $80</a>. However, the outlook appears promising, with its valuation adjusted and several catalysts expected over the next 12+ months.
Stifel analyst James Condulis writes Cytokinetics&#8217; aficamten is an exceptional drug as it sets a strong competitive standard for a multi-billion-dollar obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) market.
As the rollout of Bristol Myers Squibb Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Camzyos mavacamten continues, some concerns remain about its potential in treating obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM).
While the initial launch is not seen as a negative sign for mavacamten&#8217;s potential, its Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is a barrier to fully unlocking the market.
Cytokinetics appears well-positioned to capitalize on Bristol Myers&#8217; groundwork with its second-to-market drug, aficamten, which is expected to have a best-in-class profile. There is a strong case for aficamten to secure a differentiated REMS, potentially including six-month echocardiograms (Q6M echos) as a standard.
Under conservative assumptions, aficamten could drive the U.S. oHCM market to approximately $3 billion.
Looking ahead to 2025 and 2026, Phase 3 nHCM data and early findings for HFpEF could present new opportunities. Although mergers and acquisitions are not a key focus, potential strategic interest could bring unexpected benefits.
Price Action: CYTK stock is up 3.45% at $47.40 at last check Wednesday.

Cytokinetics' Heart Drug Aficamten Gains EMA Validation for Review

WIIM

Cytokinetics shares are trading higher after the company announced that Sanofi will acquire exclusive rights from Corxel Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize aficamten in Greater China for the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

In 2020, CORXEL (formerly Ji Xing) acquired the rights to develop and commercialize aficamten in Greater China (including the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR, and Taiwan) from Cytokinetics in accordance with Cytokinetics' global registration programs. Aficamten received Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) from The Center for Drug Evaluation of the China National Medical Products Administration which recently accepted the New Drug Application for aficamten tablets for&nbsp;the treatment of oHCM for Priority Review.
Sanofi will now acquire CORXEL's rights relating to aficamten in Greater China for an undisclosed amount. Cytokinetics&nbsp;remains eligible to receive up to $150 million in development and commercial milestone payments from Sanofi as well as royalties in the low-to-high teens on future sales of aficamten in Greater China. Cytokinetics is now also eligible to receive additional undisclosed payments in connection with the execution of the agreement between Sanofi and CORXEL.
