GENFIT | BUY, FV EUR65 |NASH Is King

Genfit a future leader in NASH. Genfit is due to release phase III data for elafibranor in NASH next year. The market is untapped with no available drugs and could reach USD10-15bn. Following Phase III results, elafibranor is set to be part of the first wave of drug launches as its main competitor Ocaliva (Intercept). However, the later has some side effects that we consider incompatible with chronic treatment and for this reason, we expect elafibranor to rapidly take the majority of prescriptions. The speed of this uptake will depend on changes in NASH diagnosis, which currently involves biopsy that is not convenient for routine use. Genfit is developing a non-invasive test that will hopefully be on the market at the same time as elafibranor.

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.
