UCB RYSTIGGO and BIMZELX: Never a dull moment

After a stressful few weeks, UCB announced yesterday that the FDA will require further time to process the much awaited US approval for the use of Bimzelx in the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. While this clearly will create additional stress with UCB investors, we believe that the chances for ultimate approval are still high (and unchanged). Today, UCB announces that Rystiggo (rozanolixizumab) did get FDA approval for the treatment of gMG, allowing it to go head to head with Vyvgart (both FcRn inhibitors). While the Bimzelx news decreased our PT somewhat, the RYSTIGGO news offsets this. Thus, overall, we stay bullish, reiterate our Buy rating and € 110 PT.
