Analyst Upside: 79.01%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 35

Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ:CORT) is one of the best healthcare stocks with the highest upside. Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ:CORT) received a rating update from H.C. Wainwright analyst Swayampakula Ramakanth on October 10, who assigned a Buy rating to the stock with a price target of $145.

The analyst cited the October 1 announcement by specialty pharmacy Curant Rare regarding its selection as a distributor for Korlym by Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ:CORT). Optime Care, the exclusive pharmacy that has been distributing Korlym since the drug’s launch a decade ago, announced on October 9 the cessation of its distribution of Korlym after the loss of exclusivity.

Ramakanth stated that while these factors delay management’s plans to operate at least two pharmacies by the end of the year, he views these developments as “a fleeting wrinkle” and recommends buying the stock on any weakness.

Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ:CORT) is a biopharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes therapies that adjust the effects of cortisol, a hormone that regulates various bodily functions. The company’s flagship product, Korlym, is FDA-approved for treating Cushing’s syndrome, a disorder caused by excessive cortisol production.
