ARS Pharmaceuticals Inc. stock surged 18.86% to $13.01 after the FDA identified deficiencies in rival Aquestive's drug application, delaying competition in the needle-free epinephrine market. Analyst William Blair noted this news is positive for ARS, as it allows more time for its product, neffy, to establish itself. ARS has also petitioned the FDA to delay approval of Aquestive's Anaphylm, citing safety concerns. Blair maintains an Outperform rating on ARS shares, highlighting the company's strong potential and funding for the product launch.
