Merus NV faces significant business risks due to its reliance on the unproven ADClonics technology platform for producing antibody drug conjugates. The company has yet to secure regulatory approval for its innovative approach, which involves attaching a linker and payload to a proprietary antibody format. This dependency on third-party suppliers for critical components such as linkers and payloads introduces vulnerabilities, as these materials have occasionally failed to meet expectations, potentially leading to disruptions. Furthermore, quality issues, contamination, and the presence of active pathogens in these materials could severely impact Merus NV’s ability to develop and commercialize its ADClonics candidates, posing a threat to its financial stability and operational success.
The average MRUS stock price target is $97.71, implying 3.00% upside potential.
