Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:FOLD)

Amicus Therapeutics specializes in developing better therapies to help patients suffering from ultra-orphan diseases, including lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). As one of its lead programs has already been well received post-launch, one analyst believes the healthcare company’s future is only getting brighter.Its oral pharmaco-chaperone drug, Galafold, for Fabry, generated hefty sales of $55.3 million in Q4 2019. Not only did this top-line number beat the Street’s $49.7 million call, but it also surpassed Cowen analyst Ritu Baral’s $50.5 million estimate.Not to mention this result represents 13% quarter-over-quarter growth. Even though FOLD had a net loss of $91 million during the quarter and SG&A expense gained 9% quarter-over-quarter, it should be noted that this was in part caused by the expanded geographic scope of the launch of Galafold into Japan and the U.S.Baral added, “FOLD projects YE20 Galafold sales of $250-$260 million that would represent 37-43% year-over-year growth. Projected growth assumes maturing uptake in the EU top 5 countries (market share changing from ERT-switch to ERT-naive) and continued rapid uptake in US and non-top 5 EU countries. FOLD expects to see commercial sales from Latin American countries in 2021 to further drive topline growth.” To top it all off, GTx pipeline development is continuing. CLN6 follow-up and initial CLN3 data are both slated for the second half of 2020.It should come as no surprise, then, that Baral kept an “outperform” call and $31 price target on the stock. This conveys her confidence in FOLD’s ability to soar 174% in the next year. As for the rest of the Street, other analysts are in agreement. With three “buys” and one “hold,” the word on the Street is that the healthcare name is a “strong buy.” Based on the $21.17 average price target, shares could climb 87% higher in the next twelve months.
