CSL's Business Not Threatened by CIDP Therapy Competition, Says Jefferies

MT Newswires Live03-20

CSL's (ASX:CSL) immunoglobulin business is not threatened by chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy therapy (CIDP) competition because immunoglobulin remains underpenetrated, according to a Thursday Jefferies note.

Jefferies said that immunoglobulin remains underpenetrated, with only about 34% of eligible patients in the US and Europe currently receiving treatment.

Due to this underpenetration, additional competition in CIDP therapies, such as C5 inhibitors used to treat certain immune system disorders, is not expected to reduce immunoglobulin volumes in the near to medium term, the note added.

Jefferies kept a buy rating on CSL with a price target of AU$235.
