Aegis Capital has issued a ‘Hold’ rating and a lowered price target of $2 on shares of Intellipharmaceutics International (NASDAQ: IPCI). The news follows recent patent litigation from Purdue Pharma against Intellipharmaceutics regarding the New Drug Application (“NDA”) filing for its Rexista™ product candidate. The FDA is stayed for 30 months from granting final approval to the company’s Rexista™ as a result of these legal proceedings, unless a final declaration of the courts is entered that the patents are either invalid or are not infringed, or the matter is otherwise settled among the parties. The analyst noted the patent suit, as well as the extension of the FDA approval time it may cause, as the reason for downgrading the ‘Buy’ rating to ‘Hold’, as well as the lower price target.
