MLV Sees A Good Chance Of FDA Approval For MannKind's Afrezza And 60% Upside

Summary
•In this interview, MLV's Dr. Graig Suvannavejh discusses his views on the future of MannKind as it gets closer to the upcoming AdCom and PDUFA for Afrezza.
•Dr. Suvannavejh believes Afrezza has 90% chance of a positive FDA AdCom outcome.
•Additionally, we discuss current investor concerns, including; the regulatory outlook and commercial concerns.


Yoffe: In closing, what is your rating and price target for MNKD?

Dr. Suvannavejh: I've had a Buy rating on MNKD shares since I initiated coverage on the company last May. My current price target is $9, which is based on an Afrezza-driven DCF analysis taken out to 2025, assuming a 12% discount rate and 5% terminal growth. My current price target implies there's additional room for the stock to run.

Dr. Suvannavejh: As visionary founder, CEO, and for all practical purposes, the main financial lifeline for MNKD over the past years, Al Mann has been a clear leader of the company. That said, given his age, it's likely that no matter what the final outcome is with Afrezza regarding potential US and ex-US approvals, new leadership will be needed to steer the company over the next 5-10 years. In my opinion, current President and COO Hakan Edstrom and CFO Matt Pfeffer have both done very solid and credible jobs, and are very likeable. Were I to pick a successor to Al Mann between the two - assuming such a candidate came from internal ranks - I'd probably place my bet with Mr. Edstrom.

He just lost all credibility with me on that statement LOL

Seems Adumb Fudstain is at it again, only took fours hours for him to attempt to refute the commentarries made by this MLV employed analyst.

Comments to the artical (3 at the time of writting) seem to have his number though, as replys are directly attacking his commentary and agenda.

Should mention it that MLV is the entity selected by MNKD to do the next ATM round if required. The orignal article mentions this, but AF trumps it up for us a quite a bit.
