Investment Thesis Xyosted is viewed by investors as the most important product in Antares” broad pipeline. In anticipation of approval on the PDUFA date of October 20, 2017 the stock price reached a high of $3.96 on October 10. Unexpectedly, Antares announced on October 11 that the FDA had identified deficiencies that prevented going forward […]

The Issue Antares received a complete response letter for Xyosted that did not cite any questions relating to efficacy, manufacturing, quality control or the device used to deliver testosterone.

Key Points: Antares has an impressive portfolio of seven new products that could lead to explosive growth over the next four years. I am projecting that revenues of five partnered products could increase from $17.0 million in 2016 to $142.0 million in 2021 (a nearly five fold increase) and that revenues from two wholly owned […]

Key Points: Recent announcement that AMAG will not pursue Orphan Drug Exclusivity for Makena SC has hammered the stock of AMAG, but has had only a modest effect on ATRS. I believe that this does not change the commercial opportunity for Makena SC over the next two to three years. This potentially could move the […]
