Zealand Pharma (Buy, TP: DKK1010.00) - Glepaglutide uncertainty

The FDA has concluded that Zealand Pharma’s application for glepaglutide in short bowel syndrome did not accommodate its requirements. As a result, Zealand Pharma expects to initiate a phase III trial in 2025 to support approvals ex-EU and provide confirmatory evidence for a regulatory resubmission in the US. We now assume a 48% POS for glepaglutide and have cut our risk-adjusted NPV/share to DKK31. We reiterate our BUY but have cut our target price to DKK1,010 (1,050).
