Abivax : A well-deserved success, Outperform confirmed

We are significantly raising our TP from € 24 to € 88 following the positive results of the phase 3 induction trial (ABTECT) for obefazimod in ulcerative colitis.

Based on these results, we believe that Abivax is a credible M&A target for a pharma player looking to strengthen its position in immunology. Outperform rating reiterated.
