BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:BCRX) shares are trading lower Monday morning after BofA Securities downgraded the stock and Oppenheimer lowered its price target. 

BofA Securities analyst Tazeen Ahmad downgraded BioCryst from a Buy rating to a Neutral rating and announced a $14 price target.

Oppenheimer analyst Justin Kim maintained BioCryst with an Outperform rating and lowered the price target from $20 to $16.

What Happened? On Friday, the company paused enrollment in clinical trials with BCX9930 while it investigates elevated serum creatinine levels seen in some patients.

The company announced Monday that it will present at the 21st Annual Needham Virtual Healthcare Conference on April 14.
