Zealand: (BUY, Fair Value DKK162 vs. DKK155 (+42%))
Very positive phase III data with dasiglucagon rescue pen for severe hypos
Zealand is continuing to deliver on its roadmap and, after divesting lixisenatide rights last week, published very positive phase III data yesterday with dasiglucagon as rescue therapy in adults with severe hypoglycemic episodes. The drug showed a very fast onset of action and allowed full recovery of patients within 15 minutes while offering much greater convenience for those who have to administer the product in a situation of emergency. It therefore looks like a potential best-in-class product. Now, Zealand will move to the filing as quickly as possible to be as close as possible to competition while looking for a commercial partner, with a focus on the US market. We increase our PoS from 60% to 80% while keeping very conservative sales assumptions. We reiterate our BUY.

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.
