Jefferies raises Olema Pharmaceuticals stock price target to $43 on SERD validation

Jefferies has increased its price target for Olema Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:OLMA) to $43.00 from $30.00, maintaining a Buy rating. This adjustment follows positive Phase 3 trial data for Roche’s giredestrant, which validates the oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) drug class, including Olema’s palazestrant. The firm anticipates a significant opportunity for this drug class and has raised the probability of success for Olema's palazestrant in first-line HR+ metastatic breast cancer.
