Why Pharvaris (PHVS) Is Advancing Today

Pharvaris (PHVS) is climbing 3% after investment bank JMP Securities raised its price target on the shares to $55, based on its optimism about the company’s prophylactic treatment for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE).

Why JMP Securities Increased Its Price Target

After evaluating other companies’ treatments for the rare disease of HAE, which causes extensive swelling, JMP raised its revenue estimate for Pharvaris’ prophylactic treatment, deucrictibant. The investment bank believes that deucrictibant will outsell KalVista Pharmaceuticals,(KALV) sebetralstat if both treatments for HAE are approved.

Meanwhile, based on the data from Pharvaris’ Phase 2 trial, JMP expects the extended-release version of the company’s deucrictibant to obtain a meaningful share of the market for prophylactic treatments of HAE.

Finally, JMP increased its estimate of the addressable market for Pharvaris’ drug.

PHVS’ Expected Upcoming Data Timeline

In the second half of 2026, the drug maker expects to report topline data from a pivotal Phase 3 study of deucrictibant for prophylaxis against HAE attacks.
