The notable rise in Hansa Biopharma’s consensus analyst price target to SEK90.00 is primarily driven by a substantial increase in its anticipated future P/E multiple, reflecting higher market growth expectations.


What's in the News


  • Hansa Biopharma announced topline results from three DMD patients treated with imlifidase prior to ELEVIDYS gene therapy, showing rapid IgG reduction and enabled gene therapy, but with lower micro-dystrophin expression than other trials; next steps to be discussed with Sarepta.
  • Five-year pooled analysis of imlifidase-enabled kidney transplants showed patient survival at 90% and graft survival at 82%, with sustained kidney function in long-term follow-up.
  • Completed a follow-on equity offering, raising SEK 232.1 million by issuing 10,550,000 common shares at SEK 22 each via a direct listing.
  • Common shares subject to a 90-day lock-up period, restricting sales by board and executive management following the equity offering.
  • Plans announced to restructure the organization, reducing workforce by approximately 20% and targeting annual savings of SEK 40-50 million, subject to union negotiations.

Valuation Changes


Summary of Valuation Changes for Hansa Biopharma

  • The Consensus Analyst Price Target has significantly risen from SEK75.50 to SEK90.00.
  • The Future P/E for Hansa Biopharma has significantly risen from 24.19x to 28.82x.
  • The Discount Rate for Hansa Biopharma remained effectively unchanged, moving only marginally from 5.32% to 5.28%.

Key Takeaways

  • Expansion into new markets, improved reimbursement, and strong transplant demand are driving significant sales and margin growth for IDEFIRIX and other biologics.
  • Advancing pipeline diversification and upcoming clinical readouts reduce single-product dependency, positioning for multi-asset growth and enhanced long-term earnings potential.
  • Heavy reliance on one drug, regulatory risks, and volatile policy environments threaten both near
  • and long-term revenue stability and complicate future financing and growth prospects.

Catalysts

About Hansa Biopharma
    A biopharmaceutical company, engages in development and commercialization of treatments for patients with rare immunological conditions in Sweden, North America, and rest of Europe.
What are the underlying business or industry changes driving this perspective?
  • Strong global growth in organ transplantation and expanding patient pools due to aging populations and chronic disease is expected to drive sustained demand for desensitization solutions like IDEFIRIX, supporting long-term revenue acceleration as more patients require transplants.
  • Improving healthcare access and reimbursement in both developed and emerging markets, coupled with recent launches in new territories (Australia, Switzerland) and expanded reimbursement (now in 20 countries), increases patient access to high-cost biologics and has already led to a 76% YoY sales increase, strengthening top-line growth and gross margins.
  • Imminent Phase III readouts (ConfIdeS for kidney transplant and GOOD-IDES-02 for anti-GBM) and broadening regulatory submissions/approvals, particularly the planned U.S. BLA, could substantially expand addressable markets and catalyze step-changes in earnings and cash flow if successful.
  • Ongoing pipeline diversification (gene therapy pre-treatment, Guillain-Barre, autoimmune, and further indications under review) positions Hansa for multi-asset clinical success, reducing reliance on a single product and offering "multiple shots on goal," enhancing long-term revenue potential and improving risk-adjusted pipeline valuation.
  • Operational restructuring yielding >SEK 60M in annual cost savings, together with increased efficiency and gross margin improvement (from 35% to 66% YoY), sets the stage for potential positive operating leverage and improved net margins as revenues ramp from both new and existing markets.

Assumptions

How have these above catalysts been quantified?
  • Analysts are assuming Hansa Biopharma's revenue will grow by 89.8% annually over the next 3 years.
  • Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from -303.7% today to 28.0% in 3 years time.
  • Analysts expect earnings to reach SEK 375.4 million (and earnings per share of SEK 3.6) by about September 2028, up from SEK -596.7 million today. However, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the analysts with the most bullish expecting SEK692.3 million in earnings, and the most bearish expecting SEK-342 million.
  • In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 28.8x on those 2028 earnings, up from -4.6x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the GB Biotechs industry at 32.5x.
  • Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 7.0% per year for the next 3 years.
  • To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 5.27%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Risks

What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?
  • Germany's suspension of the Eurotransplant prioritization program for highly sensitized kidney transplant patients has already caused a near-term negative impact on revenues, and ongoing evaluation of "health equity" in transplantation could lead other regions to reduce use or access, creating risk of reduced or stagnant long-term revenue in key European markets.
  • The company's financial sustainability is fragile, relying on recent capital raises and debt restructuring to extend its cash runway only into early Q2 2026; failure of upcoming pivotal trial readouts or regulatory setbacks could limit new financing options, drive further dilution, or precipitate severe cuts, depressing net margins and share price.
  • Hansa remains highly dependent on IDEFIRIX (imlifidase) for the vast majority of its revenues and margin improvements; slow diversification of the pipeline or commercial delays for additional indications would leave the company vulnerable to competitive pressures and impede sustainable earnings growth.
  • Fluctuating and unpredictable organ allocation policies, as well as complex, country-specific organ systems, present ongoing commercial and operational risks-this variability makes quarter-to-quarter revenue growth volatile and hampers the ability to reliably forecast long-term top-line results.
  • Higher R&D risk remains due to pending clinical trial outcomes for both kidney transplant and new indications (e.g., GOOD-IDES-02, gene therapy collaborations); any negative or inconclusive data could not only impair future revenues but also undermine the company's perceived value proposition, making it harder to secure future investor or partner support and reducing earnings potential.

Valuation

How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?
  • The analysts have a consensus price target of SEK90.0 for Hansa Biopharma based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of SEK143.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just SEK37.0.
  • In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be SEK1.3 billion, earnings will come to SEK375.4 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 28.8x, assuming you use a discount rate of 5.3%.
  • Given the current share price of SEK32.38, the analyst price target of SEK90.0 is 64.0% higher.
  • We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
