PhotoCure (Buy, TP: NOK170.00) - Strong quarter despite Covid-19
Photocure reported better Q1 earnings than we expected. The sales trend was slightly lower than we forecast, due to the ongoing Covid-19 headwind mainly in the US. This headwind resulted in a c7% YOY decline in unit sales organically for Hexvix/Cysview globally. As expected, no guidance was given, as the pandemic impact continues to be unpredictable. We reiterate our BUY and NOK170 target price.Photocure is a Norwegian based specialty pharmaceutical company. Co. develops and commercializes solutions in several disease areas such as bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, HPV and precancerous lesions of the cervix, acne and other dermatologic conditions. Co. has one marketed product that Co. commercializes directly in the U.S. and the Nordic region is Hexvix®/Cysview®, for detection of bladder cancer.
