ABIVAX - BUY | EUR52 (+189%)
ABX464 still well positioned vs Big Pharma competitors

We believe post Lilly’s Mirikuzmab, and Pfizer’s Etrasimod data yesterday, ABX464 still looks like a potential best-in-class. We believe a swath of drug failures and setbacks has thinned the field to the point where today if Pharma are still waiting for an oral drug readout there are only two true contender next to Abivax: Immunic’s Vadoflimus which will readout in the next four weeks, and Morphic – which is early but comes on the heels of the Protagonist PN-942 failure. Furthermore even after strong 20%-25% 52 week pbo adjusted remissions by Lilly and Pfizer(Arena) at 52 weeks, Abivax ABX464 has so far met this high bar, with an novel differentiated mechanism – which deserves more of a premium than we have seen in current trading (in our view).
We believe BD is still likely to occur in the IBD space

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
