JPMorgan upgrades Genmab to Overweight and raises price target to DKK3,500

JPMorgan upgraded Genmab A/S to Overweight from Neutral and lifted its price target to DKK3,500, up from DKK2,050. The brokerage expects a positive Phase III readout for petosemtamab with an overall response rate of at least 40% and raised the drug’s peak sales forecast to $5 billion. It also increased peak‑sales forecasts for Rina‑S and Epkinly and adjusted its revenue and EPS outlooks for 2026‑2030.

JPMorgan’s upgrade and higher price target signal a bullish outlook that could lift Genmab’s share price, while the raised sales forecasts suggest higher future cash flows if the trials succeed.
