Going forward, analysts are expecting more upside for HALO.

Halozyme's has collaboration deals related to its ENHANZE technology with several large pharma companies that generate milestone payments, driving the top line. Robust demand for the subcutaneous formulation of J&J’s Darzalex and Roche’s Phesgo is boosting royalties and the top line. The momentum is likely to continue in future quarters. Halozyme is also focused on signing new collaboration deals to aid growth which bodes well. However, blockbuster drugs like Herceptin and Rituxan that use ENHANZE technology have now started facing biosimilar competition, which is hurting revenues from royalties. High dependence on partners for revenues in the form of royalties and collaborative agreements is a woe. Any deal termination will be a major setback. Estimates look stable ahead of Q4 earnings releases.

The stock has jumped 6.50% over the past four weeks. Additionally, no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 1 higher, for fiscal 2024; the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
