Aegis Capital Corp. has reiterated its ‘Buy’ rating and $3 price target on Ocera Therapeutics (NASDAQ: OCRX) following the company’s recent release of data from a preclinical model that suggests potential for OCR-002 as a treatment of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)/ Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). The analyst noted this data, and OCR-002’s potential as a treatment of Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), as the sole reason for the reiterated ‘Buy’ rating.
