J.P. Morgan has upgraded shares of Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRPT) from underweight to neutral on what the firm sees as progress on both regulatory and pipeline fronts.

However, the firm lowered its price target on shares to $87 from $92 (~29% upside).

Analyst Anupam Rama says that his neutral rating is due in part to Sarepta's underperformance. The stock is down 60% year-to-date.

However, he sees potential catalysts for the company. One is the pivotal study for SRP-9001 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy expected to begin next month.

Another is what he calls broader progress with the pipeline.

"Looking forward, we expect SRPT shares to be more of an in-line performer to the broader biotech markets, hence, the move to a Neutral rating," Rama writes.
