Cantor starts ARQT coverage with Overweight, sets $48 target on Zoryve growth
Oct 15, 2026, 2:23 PM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The Overweight rating and $48 target imply meaningful upside relative to current levels, anchored by robust Zoryve sales (Q2: $129.9M; +59% YoY) and a large TAM. The infant indication and potential expansion into hidradenitis suppurativa/vitiligo add optionality, supporting a favorable revaluation of ARQT.
