"Shares of Genelabs Technologies Inc. jumped in Thursday morning trading after an analyst began covering the biopharmaceutical company with a "Buy" rating, predicting the stock price will triple over the next 12 months.
The company has two oral hepatitis C treatments in preclinical testing, and Kevin DeGeeter of Oppenheimer & Co. was optimistic about both candidates. He believes both drugs will begin early stage testing within a year.
"Each of these drugs appears to be far more potent than competing products in late-stage clinical development and, in our view, have the potential to be best-in-class drugs," he said. "If Genelabs can successfully move one or two of these novel targets into clinical trials, we believe the company may be a compelling takeover candidate."-ap
