Oscient Pharma rated as outperform by JMP
JMP Securities has given Oscient Pharmaceuticals Corp. an outperform rating and set a price target at $3.00. Analyst Adam Culter noted that new prescriptions of antibiotic Factive were up to 4,114 this week from 3,993 the previous week.
Factive is used to treat illnesses such as pneumonia and sinusitis that occur more frequently in winter months, so prescriptions are likely to continue rising in the coming months.
Shares of the Waltham, Mass.-based biopharmaceutical company were down $0.01, or 0.56%, at $1.76 on volume of 543,085 shares versus the three-month running average of 752,600.
