REGENERON PHARMACEUTICALS INC. (NASDAQ:REGN): Regeneron's market cap could be heading higher to retest $100 billion
Regeneron stock has been retesting $830 since late March after the company released new data from a phase III clinical trial of their nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Dupixent, jointly developed with Sanofi, showing that the drug reduced bad bouts of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, or COPD, by 30%, compared with a placebo over 52 weeks.
JP Morgan raised their price target for the stock to $950 from $900 based on the new data, citing Dupixent for the COPD treatment alone could add $2.5 billion in peak sales. The firm now sees 2030 Dupixent sales of over $20 billion. The new P/T will push Regeneron's market cap to well over $100 billion. In our view, Regeneron could consider their first ever stock split before its stock hits $1000.
