Cantor Fitzgerald upgrades OMER to Overweight with a $22 target after Yartemlea's stronger-than-expected launch. Payer support via NTAP and a J-code, plus Q2 revenue of $28.5M (up 11% sequentially), bolster long-term adoption and peak sales potential. The stock rose about 12%, signaling potential further upside.
EMA CHMP cited trial design flaws and limited pediatric data for Yartemlea TA-TMA, limiting interpretability. Despite FDA approval and a US launch, EMA concerns could slow European uptake. CMS J-code set for July 1, 2026 and NTAP prospects support US reimbursement, but the EMA setback keeps OMER under pressure.
