United Therapeutics: UBS Maintains Buy, Raises PT to $560 from $415.
UBS Group has maintained its "Buy" rating on United Therapeutics Corp. (NASDAQ: UTHR) while raising its price target to $560 from $415. This move comes following the successful Phase 3 TETON-2 trial results, which demonstrated significant improvements in forced vital capacity compared to a placebo for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients [2].
The positive trial outcomes have led UBS to increase its risk-adjusted peak sales forecast for Tyvaso in IPF to $3.3 billion from $1.5 billion. The drug's potential to become a standard of care in the $4 billion global IPF market is cited as a key factor driving this forecast increase [2].
UBS has identified several upcoming catalysts for United Therapeutics, including the detailed TETON-2 results presentation at the ERS Congress on September 28 and the TETON-1 trial readout expected in the first half of 2026. Additionally, the company has expanded its partnership with MannKind Corporation to develop a second dry powder inhalation therapy, further bolstering its treatment offerings [2].
Other analysts have also responded positively to the trial results. Jefferies has raised its price target for United Therapeutics to $564, maintaining a "Buy" rating, while Cantor Fitzgerald continues to support the stock with an "Overweight" rating and a $405 price target [2].
United Therapeutics' strong financial health, with an "Excellent" InvestingPro overall score of 3.98, and impressive gross profit margins of 89% further underscore the company's potential [2].
