<p>ADC Therapeutics Faces Competitive Oncology Market But Analyst Sees 100% Upside &#8211; Here&#8217;s Why</p>
<p><strong>Stephens</strong> analyst has initiated coverage on <strong>ADC Therapeutics SA</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADCT#NYSE">ADCT</a>), a commercial-stage oncology-focused biotechnology company developing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for patients with hematological malignancies and solid tumors.</p>
<p>The company's lead asset, Zynlonta (loncastuximab tesirine-Ipyl), is a CD19-directed ADC with a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) payload.</p>
<p>The drug received accelerated FDA approval in January 2021 for adult patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy.</p>
<p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/07/33324772/adc-therapeutics-pulls-plug-on-mid-stage-zynlonta-study-in-untreated-lymphoma-patients-after-pati">ADC Therapeutics Pulls Plug On Mid-Stage Zynlonta Study In Untreated Lymphoma Patients After Patient Deaths</a></strong></p>
<p>The analyst points out that Zynlonta has faced stiff competition, and while it reached an annualized revenue run rate of about $80 million at its peak in the first quarter of 2023, it has struggled in the market.</p>
<p>The analyst expects Zynlonta&#8217;s peak revenue in the third-line treatment setting to reach $110 million in the U.S. by 2032.</p>
<p>The analyst&#8217;s outlook depends on the expectation that Zynlonta will receive approval for use in second-line treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), based on positive results from the LOTIS-5 and LOTIS-7 clinical trials.</p>
<p>Preclinical data suggests that combining Zynlonta with rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody, may improve tumor control and provide longer-lasting results. The company is looking to expand Zynlonta&#8217;s use to treat second-line DLBCL and indolent lymphomas, either alone or in combination with other treatments.</p>
<p>Although the analyst supports Zynlonta's approval for second-line DLBCL, they are cautious about its revenue potential in this space.</p>
<p>Stephens has initiated with an Overweight rating, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ADCT/analyst-ratings">with a price target of $6</a>.</p>
<p>The second-line DLBCL market is competitive with many treatment options available. However, the analyst sees value in Zynlonta due to its promising efficacy, with an 80% overall response rate and a 50% complete response rate. They estimate that Zynlonta could contribute about $172 million in revenue from second-line DLBCL by 2032.</p>
<p>In addition, ADCT has a broad pipeline of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting other solid tumor indications, giving the company multiple opportunities for growth outside of Zynlonta.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> ADCT stock is up 0.68% at $2.95 at the last check on Friday.</p>

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
<p>Benzinga tracks 150 analyst firms and reports on their stock expectations. Analysts typically arrive at their conclusions by predicting how much money a company will make in the future, usually the upcoming five years, and how risky or predictable that company's revenue streams are.</p>
<p>Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.</p>
<p>Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.</p>

Deep Dive Into Gulfport Energy Stock: Analyst Perspectives (8 Ratings)

<p><strong>Tesla, Inc.&#8217;s </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) October sales in China took a hit as exports from its Shanghai plant surged.</p>
<p>Per a <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/11/08/tesla-sells-40485-cars-china-oct-2024/" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> by CnEV Post, the company sold 68,280 vehicles in total, with 27,795 units shipped overseas, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). This left Tesla with just 40,485 vehicles sold within China, marking its weakest month since April.</p>
<p>However, TSLA stock is on the rise, fueled by a post-election rally following Donald Trump&#8217;s victory in the 2024 presidential race.</p>
<p>The boost in Tesla&#8217;s stock may be tied to Elon Musk&#8217;s backing of Trump, which seemingly paid off with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41813356/elon-musks-net-worth-soars-by-26-5-billion-in-single-day-after-tesla-stock-surges-post-trump-vic" rel="noreferrer noopener">massive surge in his wealth.</a></p>
<p>In addition,<strong> B of A Securities </strong>analyst John Murphy has raised Tesla&#8217;s price forecast from $265 to $350, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Buy rating on the stock.</a></p>

<p>Tesla&#8217;s October sales in China were up 41.43% from 28,626 vehicles sold last year, but down 43.93% from 72,200 units in September, CnEV Post added.</p>
<p>For the year-to-date period from January to October, Tesla has sold 500,685 vehicles in China, crossing the 500,000 mark. This represents an 8.29% increase compared to the same period last year.</p>
