NovoCure remains a strong buy due to robust earnings, a growing core business, and a promising pipeline, particularly in lung and pancreatic cancer treatments. Q4 2024 earnings showed strong revenue growth despite an EPS miss driven by a stock-comp event related to FDA approval. Updated DCF analysis yields a $34 price target, with Wall Street consensus at $35.83, indicating significant upside potential.
NovoCure's stock has risen 42% since my October recommendation, but revenue diversification outside of glioblastoma (GBM) remains a concern. Despite FDA approvals, TTFields therapy faces adoption challenges due to marginal survival benefits and high costs, impacting market growth. NovoCure's financial health shows sufficient liquidity short-term, but profit margins will compress and S&M costs will rise in 2025.
While the top- and bottom-line numbers for NovoCure (NVCR) give a sense of how the business performed in the quarter ended December 2024, it could be worth looking at how some of its key metrics compare to Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.
NovoCure (NVCR) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.61 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.34. This compares to loss of $0.45 per share a year ago.
