Akebia Therapeutics (AKBA) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Akebia Therapeutics (AKBA) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Akebia Therapeutics is projected to experience significant growth due to an anticipated increase in prescribing access to its drug Vafseo, expected to more than quadruple by the end of 2025 and further increase by over seven times at the start of 2026. The implementation of a tri-weekly dosing protocol for Vafseo within US Renal Care clinics is expected to enhance market penetration among chronic kidney disease dialysis patients, supporting a total addressable market exceeding 540,000 individuals. Additionally, the company's continued focus on establishing Vafseo as a standard of care could bolster its market relevance, particularly as organizations in the dialysis sector are projected to increase orders substantially, potentially accessing around 275,000 patients by year-end 2025.
Bears say
Akebia Therapeutics, despite holding a potentially lucrative position in the kidney disease therapeutics market, suffers from significant operational challenges and market skepticism regarding its product portfolio. The company's decision to halt the pursuit of the chronic kidney disease (CKD) non-dialysis market, coupled with the inability to meet primary endpoints in clinical trials, negatively impacts the sentiment surrounding its future growth potential. Furthermore, the inherent risks associated with clinical outcomes, regulatory processes, and the complexities of commercializing its products in a price-sensitive environment contribute to a generally negative outlook on the stock.
