Genmab (Buy, TP: DKK2600.00) - Solid underlying Q2 performance
Q2 revenue and operating profit beat our estimates and consensus, driven by higher-than-expected product-related royalties and solid net product sales. The 2024 guidance was raised to revenue of DKK20.5bn–21.7bn, opex of DKK14.1bn–14.7bn (mostly reclassification and M&A-related), and operating profit of DKK4.9bn–6.7bn. The investor focus was on BioNTech’s decision to opt out of the acasunlimab programme. We reiterate our BUY and DKK2,600 target price.Genmab is a biotechnology company specializing in the creation and development of differentiated human antibody therapeutics focused on the treatment of cancer.
