Recent data for cancer treatment manufacturer MorphoSys AG suggests the German biotech's shares could see a significant rally, according to Morgan Stanley.
"Despite increasing competition, our updated analysis suggests peak global sales of $1.6bn for pelabresib," analyst James Quigley wrote in a Friday note.
"In addition, while some clinical risk remains, the data so far suggests that MANIFEST-2 has a good chance of success, which should drive significant upside in the shares," Quigley said.
Shares have sold off nearly 25% since mid-September, compared to the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index down 4% over the same period.
