Aquestive Therapeutics: With Some Hiccups, Anaphylm Is Closer To FDA Approval
Summary Aquestive Therapeutics remains a Buy, with an $8 fair value estimate and 87% upside, driven by Anaphylm’s FDA approval prospects. Anaphylm’s CRL issues are addressable, focused on packaging and labeling, not efficacy or safety, with a pivotal PK study planned for Q2–Q3 2026. I model 95% US and ~80% international adoption probability for Anaphylm and profitability by 2029, although they will likely need more financing by the end of 2027. Position sizing remains conservative at ~0.25x due to AQST’s one-product risk; I trim or close above fair value, monitoring FDA, partnerships, and financing needs.
