UBS⬇️ $CYTK's PT to $104, reiterated Buy and said -- We see CYTK as an attractive launch name (oHCM) that has the added benefit of diversification (nHCM) and potential removal of competitive overhang (EWTX).

UBS added—Similar to a number of other commercial biotech names (NBIX, AXSM, JAZZ, UTHR, INSM), CYTK has also underperformed recently as XBI pulled back.
However, if interest-rate hike cycle is likely to drive further "risk-off" environment, we believe names like CYTK can outperform from current levels.
In our view, Myqorzo will see continued sales inflection in 3Q which could point towards strong FY26/27 sales.
Along with oHCM launch updates, we see multiple potentially positive catalysts on the horizon:
1) nHCM SNDA submission,
2) EDG-7500 Ph3 trial initiation (requiring echos); and
3) MAPLE/1L label expansion (PDUFA Nov. 14).
We lower our PT to $104 (from $115), and reit our Buy rating.
