Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (Buy, TP: SEK335.00) - Solid Q2, but Vonjo on soft side
SOBI reported Q2 earnings that were generally stronger than expected, with sales beating consensus by c6% (results were 5% above our forecast) and adj. EBITA by c4% (3% above our estimate). However, the market became concerned by weaker-than-expected Vonjo sales (missed consensus for Q2 by c11%). On the other hand, sales for Gamifant and Doptelet and Kineret outperformed consensus. The company raised its sales guidance to low double-digit growth from the high single-digits. We reiterate our BUY and SEK335 target price.Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB is a healthcare company focused on rare diseases.
