    Analyst commentary on PTC Therapeutics has been notably active following the company’s recent earnings and the launch of Sephience. Several firms have updated their perspectives, reflecting both growing optimism and measured caution regarding the company’s fundamental strengths, ongoing execution, and outlook for growth.

    🐂 Bullish Takeaways

    • RBC Capital raised its price target to $82 from $70 and reiterated an Outperform rating, citing an excellent start for the Sephience launch and signs of strong near- and medium-term durability in the business.

    • JPMorgan lifted its price target to $80 from $68 while maintaining an Overweight rating, highlighting favorable and sustained business momentum observed in October following the Q3 earnings report.

    • Citi increased its price target to $75 from $50 and kept a Neutral rating, praising PTC for reporting a strong first quarter of Sephience sales.

    • BofA raised its price target to $87 from $76 and kept the stock as one of its top picks for 2025. The firm referenced survey data from neurologists and geneticists that indicate high community interest in Sephience. BofA continues to view Sephience as a potential blockbuster opportunity.

    • TD Cowen increased its price target to $63 from $50, noting a significant topline beat and initial Sephience sales of $19.2 million versus a $4 million consensus, which far exceeded expectations.

    The bullish sentiment reflects analysts rewarding PTC’s successful execution surrounding the Sephience launch, robust sales momentum, and continued transparency in reporting. Firms point to PTC’s ability to not only meet but exceed expectations, supporting upgraded valuations and ongoing optimism about future growth.

    🐻 Bearish Takeaways

    • Citi pointed out, in addition to its price target revision to $75, that its overall rating remains Neutral. The firm previously noted concerns after competitive data from uniQure regarding Huntington’s disease. Citi has also kept a $50 target in earlier communications, citing competitive pressures around votoplam data and potential challenges in maintaining momentum if rivals set a higher regulatory or clinical bar.

    • Truist commented that recent negative developments at uniQure have no direct negative read-throughs for PTC but did not express a notably bullish stance either, keeping a neutral-to-cautious tone on related programs.

  • Stock market outlook: analysts see the S&P 500 hitting 8000 next year

    Stock market outlook: analysts see the S&P 500 hitting 8000 next year

    The Santa Claus rally typically begins at the end of December, but Wall Street is already showing signs of holiday cheer, potentially leading up to another big year for stocks in 2026.

    During the Thanksgiving-shortened week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped more than 3%, the S&P 500 surged nearly 4%, and the Nasdaq leapt more than 4%.

    That’s after selling off sharply earlier this month on fears that the AI bubble will burst and hints that the Federal Reserve won’t cut interest rates as much as anticipated.

    “Santa’s back,” market veteran Ed Yardeni declared in a note on Saturday.

    But panic-selling of bitcoin, which he and others on Wall Street have said was a factor in the earlier downturn, has subsided, and stocks are poised for a year-end rally.

    Yardeni backed his view that the S&P 500 will hit 7,000 by the end of the year and suggested the broad market index could even reach that milestone in the coming week.

    If that happens, the S&P 500 will finish 2025 with a 19% gain, following surges of more than 20% in each of the past two years.

    And the market could still post double-digit advances from there. Earlier in the week, Yardeni reaffirmed his forecast for the index to soar to 7,700 in 2026, indicating a 10% increase from his 2025 view.

    “We expect that 2026 will be just another year of the Roaring 2020s, which remains our base-case scenario,” he wrote. “Our Roaring 2020s scenario has had a good six-year run since we first predicted it in 2020.”

    GDP growth, consumption and corporate profits have been chugging along, and Yardeni said the decade should avoid an economy-wide recession, while “rolling recessions” may hit different industries at different times.

    Deutsche Bank is even more bullish and predicted the S&P 500 will finish next year at 8,000, representing a 17% jump from Friday’s close.

    “We see equities continuing to benefit from the cross-asset inflows boom,” analysts wrote in a note. “With earnings continuing to rise and companies indicating they are sticking with their capital allocation plans we expect robust buybacks to continue.”

    Elsewhere, JPMorgan expects the S&P 500 to end 2026 at 7,500, but added that it could go to 8,000 if the Federal Reserve keeps cutting rates.

    Analysts cited above-trend earnings growth, the AI capital spending boom, rising shareholder payouts, and fiscal policy easing via tax cuts in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

    And if inflation cools more than anticipated, that would clear the way for extra Fed rate cuts beyond the two addition reductions JPMorgan sees.

    “More so, the earnings benefit tied to deregulation and broadening AI-related productivity gains remain underappreciated,” the bank said.
