Needham Reiterates Buy on Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Maintains $210 Price Target

As Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (the "Company") has previously disclosed, a number of complaints, including, from June 2020 to September 2020, several complaints styled as class actions and, from March 2021 to May 2022, several additional complaints, were filed on behalf of purported direct and indirect Xyrem purchasers, alleging that the Company's actions leading up to, and entering into, patent litigation settlement agreements with generic drug manufacturers who had filed abbreviated new drug applications ("ANDAs" and such filers, "ANDA filers"), violate U.S. state and federal antitrust, consumer protection and unfair competition laws. This group of cases was consolidated for multidistrict litigation ("MDL") proceedings before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the "Court") in December 2020.
On April 7, 2025, Jazz Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a preliminary class settlement agreement (the "preliminary class settlement agreement") with the class of indirect Xyrem purchasers to settle all claims of participating class members against the Company with respect to the Company's actions leading up to, and entering into, patent litigation settlement agreements with the ANDA filers.
Pursuant to the preliminary class settlement agreement, which was entered into with counsel representing the class representatives, the Company has agreed to pay a total of $145&nbsp;million in a lump sum. The Company plans to use cash on hand to fund the preliminary class settlement agreement's obligations. The Company expects to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $145&nbsp;million associated with this preliminary class settlement agreement in the first quarter of 2025.

On Wednesday, Zymeworks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZYME#NASDAQ">ZYME</a>) released fourth-quarter financial results. The company reported an earnings loss of 31 cents per share, missing the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus loss of 3 cents</a>.
Sales came at $31.03 million, missing the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $45.2 million</a>.
In its fourth-quarter earnings results, Zymeworks said it is increasing its development <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44151625/zymeworks-provides-corporate-update-and-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-result" rel="noreferrer noopener">efforts on plans for ZW251</a>.
&#8220;Based on our encouraging preclinical results and the unique potential opportunity to help hepatocellular carcinoma patients, we have decided to reprioritize resources for the advancement of ZW251, for which an IND submission is now planned for mid-2025,&#8221; Zymeworks said in a statement.
&#8220;As a result, we have paused preparations for the commencement of Phase 1 studies of ZW220 at this time. However, we believe ZW220 remains a highly differentiated, IND-ready ADC with encouraging preclinical data and strong commercial rationale with partnership potential. We look forward to providing future updates on the development for ZW220,&#8221; the company added.
The company plans to initiate a Phase 1 trial for ZW251 this year.
&#8220;ZW251 provides a new therapeutic modality option targeting GPC3 for hepatocellular carcinoma and represents an emerging opportunity in oncology that has yet to be fully realized,&#8221; said Zymeworks Chief Scientific Officer Paul Moore. &#8220;With a potential best-in-class design and differentiated mechanism, we believe our pipeline presents meaningful opportunities for both strategic partnerships and value creation&#8230;&#8221;
In February, Zymeworks achieved a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43967501/zymeworks-announces-achievement-of-14-million-milestone-from-gsk-collaboration" rel="noreferrer noopener">$14 million cash research</a> milestone associated with a clinical milestone from GSK Plc.

Ziihera was approved under accelerated approval based on a 52% objective response rate (ORR) and a median duration of response of 14.9 months. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
Price Action: ZYME stock is down 7.97% at $12.13 at the last check Thursday.

<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.
