- Shares of Beyond Air (NASDAQ:XAIR) added ~6% on Thursday on above-average volume to approach the highest level since mid-April after BTIG launched its coverage with a Buy recommendation citing a “catalyst-rich pipeline.”
- 348.0K Beyond Air (XAIR) shares have changed hands compared to the 65-day average volume of ~330.5K as BTIG analyst Marie Thibault issued a $15 price target on the developer of LungFit therapeutic platform.
- “While there are risks to an investment in XAIR, including large competitors, we believe that as the company achieves its upcoming catalysts — sales ramp, regulatory wins, clinical studies — the technology platform’s value will gradually be recognized by investors,” Thibault wrote.
- Seeking Alpha analyst Zach Bristow reaffirmed his Hold rating on XAIR in February ahead of the company’s Q3 FY23 results which, however, fell short of expectations for earnings.
