DATA DE-RISKS BROADER PROGRAMS
** RBC Capital Markets ("outperform," PT: $140) says the data positions the drug as a potential "game-changer" in panreatic cancer and de-risks its move into earlier-line use and other cancers
** Wedbush ("outperform," PT: $147) says the results strengthen its view that daraxonrasib could emerge as a new standard treatment in pancreatic cancer, helping it stay ahead of newer rivals
** Evercore ISI ("outperform," PT: $140) says it expects the FDA to move swiftly to approve daraxonrasib under its priority review voucher, followed by an unprecedented launch
** Jefferies ("buy," PT: $140) says the data materially exceeds investor expectations and meaningfully de-risks ongoing first-line studies and could support broader use
