Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGIO) is one of the 10 Best Small-Cap Growth Stocks to Buy According to Analysts. On June 9, Analyst Emily Bodnar of H.C. Wainwright maintained a Buy rating on Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGIO) and reduced the price target from $61 to $56. The reiteration comes after the company announced its commercial and distribution agreement with Avanzanite for its drug Pyrukynd in Europe, Switzerland, and the UK.

The analyst said that the recent agreement of Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGIO) with Avanzanite mirrors its previously successful collaboration in the Gulf region. The agreement will enable the company to concentrate on the US market while leveraging Avanzanite’s expertise in European rare disease markets. Moreover, Pyrukynd has already been approved for pyruvate kinase deficiency and is expected to receive FDA approval for thalassemia and potentially EMA approval in 2026.

Analyst Emily Bodnar lowered the price target due to the agreement’s revenue split which initially benefits Avanzanite. However, Bodnar views it as a capital-efficient way to accelerate Agios’ entry and revenue growth in Europe.

Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGIO) is a biopharmaceutical company specializing in developing innovative therapies for patients with rare diseases. Its main product, Pyrukynd (mitapivat), is the first disease-modifying treatment for adults with pyruvate kinase deficiency, a form of hemolytic anemia.
