Wainwright analyst Vernon Bernardino has reiterated a Buy rating on HUMA stock, citing ATEV's advantages in clinical settings, particularly its infection resistance and durability compared to traditional prosthetic grafts.
Clinical Trial Successes
Recent data and expert insights suggest that the pricing assumptions for ATEV might be conservative, indicating potential for higher valuation and profitability in high-risk patient populations. Encouraging results from clinical trials, including the V007 Phase 3 study and real-world data from Ukraine, further emphasize ATEV’s efficacy, showcasing higher patency rates and lower complication rates.

Projected sales growth in the coming years further supports Bernardino’s positive outlook, reinforcing the Buy rating with a revised price target of $12. TD Cowen also assigned a Buy rating to the stock with a $10.00 price target.
