Soumit Roy has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Beam Therapeutics’ promising clinical trial progress and strong financial position. The company has dosed 17 patients in its BEAM-302 Phase 1/2 trial for AATD, with expectations to report dose-escalation data soon. Additionally, Beam plans to present updated data from its BEACON Phase 1/2 trial with BEAM-101 by the end of 2025, and initiate a Phase 1 trial for BEAM-103 by the same time, indicating a robust pipeline of developments.
Furthermore, Beam Therapeutics has a solid cash position with approximately $1.15 billion in cash and equivalents, providing a runway into 2028. The valuation analysis, which includes DCF, SOTP NPV, and PE-based models, supports a price target of $25, driven by projected peak sales and contributions from various products in their pipeline. This financial and developmental outlook underpins the Buy rating, as the company is well-positioned for future growth and innovation.
In another report released today, H.C. Wainwright also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $80.00 price target.
