Innovative Medications for Severe Disorders: Corcept Therapeutics Inc.’s Positive Financial Outlook
Corcept Therapeutics Inc. has been making waves in the pharmaceutical industry with its innovative development of medications to treat severe metabolic, oncologic, and psychiatric disorders. The company’s main focus is on developing drugs for disorders that are associated with a steroid hormone called cortisol. Additionally, the company aims to work toward alleviating depression and anxiety in patients by providing effective medicines that can help reduce the symptoms of these debilitating conditions.
Despite the recent news that some institutional investors have modified their holdings of CORT, including Quadrant Capital Group LLC and Altshuler Shaham Ltd, the financial outlook for Corcept Therapeutics appears to be positive. In fact, according to a recent earnings report released on May 3rd, 2017, Corcept Therapeutics had revenue of $105.70 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $104.91 million.
However, some analysts have voiced concerns about Corcept’s earnings per share (EPS) after it missed estimates by six cents per share in the latest quarter. Among these analysts is Jefferies Financial Group which downgraded its rating from “buy” to “hold” and dropped its price target from $35.00 to $22.00.
Nevertheless, other analysts are optimistic about Corcept Therapeutics’ prospects moving forward. In particular, Piper Sandler recently started coverage on shares of Corcept Therapeutics with an “overweight” rating and a $27.00 price objective on the stock.
Moreover, despite some changes among institutional investors as well as mixed analyst opinions surrounding CORT shares currently analyzed as having a consensus price target estimation of $27.29 according to Bloomberg.com -the future outlook continues looking bright for Corcept Therapeutics which also boasts a majority (80%) ownership by institutional investors overall including Quantbot Technologies LP and Tower Research Capital LLC TRC .
